Offered in partnership with World Instructor Training Schools (W.I.T.S.), this course offers students the nationally recognized fitness career training necessary to become a Certified Personal Trainer. This challenging course is for candidates wanting LIVE instruction with indepth, hands-on, practical labs to master the essential career skills and knowledge. The course consists of 15 hours of lecture on key topics like biomechanics, exercise physiology, fitness testing, equipment usage, and health assessment. Fifteen (15) hours of hands-on practical training labs with role-playing drills on assessing clients, programming, performing proper exercises, and presentation skills will be off-site at a nearby gym. In addition, students have the option to complete a 30-hour employer internship at no additional cost. Students can register for the Certified Personal Trainer exams after providing proof of a current CPR/AED certification. Once both the written and practical exams are passed, students will attain Level 1 Certified Personal Trainer status and will then be able to complete the employer internship and advance to the Level 2 Certified Personal Trainer credential. The practical component of the program will take place at a nearby gym facility. This program is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
