NASM

Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)


The NASM® Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) follows the IPFT and qualifies students with a REPS Level 3 Qualification for the health and fitness industry recognised by the UK Register of Exercise Professionals. A minimum of a UK Register of Exercise Professionals Level 2 Qualification/Award, such as the IPFT, must be achieved before applying for this course.

Many courses teach exercise science to Personal Trainers whereas the NASM CPT not only teaches the science, but the correct application of the science.

What will the CPT course include?
The client is at the heart of everything associated with the CPT course and students will qualify with the right tools to deliver cutting edge exercise programmes.

We believe that a good exercise programme starts with a good assessment. Personal Trainers with certified assessment skills have the ability to write progressive, enjoyable exercise programmes that deliver results. Using the evidence based Optimum Performance Training™ (OPT™) model from NASM, students will learn how to accelerate every client towards any goal. With these skills, students will become a qualified solutions expert that clients will come back to time and time again.
