Certified Personal Trainer

NETA-Certified Personal Trainers are fitness professionals who promote wellness through healthy lifestyle behaviors. They accomplish this by developing and implementing safe, effective exercise programs. These programs are designed to meet the individual goals of clients they serve within NETA’s Code of Ethics. To earn NETA's Personal Trainer certification, candidates must pass the NCCA-accredited certification exam and hold a valid adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) certification including a live hands-on practical skills evaluation. NETA's Personal Trainer Certification is valid for two years from the date of issue. Certificant's must earn a minimum of twenty continuing education credits (CECs) to be eligible for recertification. NETA's Personal Trainer Certification is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), demonstrating the program’s compliance with the NCCA’s Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. NCCA is the accrediting body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. Since 1977, the NCCA has been accrediting certifying programs based on the highest quality standards in professional certification to ensure the programs adhere to modern standards of practice in the certification industry.
