FAQ

An NFPT Certification Prep Workshop is a 14 hour event that is generally conducted over the course of two days. Both days consist of a combination of 75% theory 25% application. During these two 7 hour days, an NFPT Master Instructor will guide you through a Power-Point presentation designed to break down the most complex areas of understanding the human body as required to become a certified personal trainer. This study option’s focus is on assisting the participant in acquiring the layman term knowledge and understanding of technical scientific subject matter that is more times than not very difficult to truly learn in a way that you can then turn around and educate your future clients with. Second to the main focus of the workshop is to add a “live” component to the existing NFPT Personal Trainers Manual “The Fundamentals”. All participants partake either in an onsite or virtual tour of the basic exercises including a demonstration of what a clients first session should entail. All aspects of a clients first assessment and evaluation are covered in great detail as it is an established fact that your first hour with a client is one of the most critical moments to either impress your prospective client with confidence, knowledge, and efficiency or loose your prospective client due to inexperience and lack of confidence. Reading, memorizing, and passing a test get you certified. Adding a workshop to your curriculum will make you qualified. Together, you can not only be a Certified Personal Trainer but also have the applicable skills to put you ahead of the pack.

When compared to other NCCA Accredited organizations it does not differ on the level of recognition. When looking at what most other organizations focus on versus the NFPT through Global Fitness Educators, it is night and day. Learning in an interactive setting is the best way to learn personal training and that in itself is the most significant edge. When compared to other organizations that are NOT NCCA Accredited, there simply is no comparison. Any credential accredited by the NCCA holds the highest position in the industry.

Absolutely. That is exactly why you would want to enroll. Most programs only send you a book to study so that you can pass an exam.

Once your promo code and status are confined, the charge is finalized and your official receipt is sent to you from our enrollment department.

If you enrolled any later than the Monday of the week of the workshop you may not have your books. That is why we have the flyers up 12 weeks prior to the workshop. To give everyone ample time to enroll and get the pre-workshop study time in and receive your books. If your instructor is flying out of our Florida office your books will be handed to you in class. If your instructor is not flying out or our Florida office, your books will be sent USPS as customary and you will most likely receive after the class. You should use your student ID provided by our NFPT office via email, set up your account, download the Power-Point, and bring it to class on a laptop. This is also a recommended practice as it will be easier to view and take notes.

If you plan on scheduling your exam immediately after the workshop you should email enrollments@globalfitedu.com and advise of such intentions as generally test codes are not issued until after the event. As long as your balance is at zero, we can expedite your test codes for your convenience.

Two reasons why a promo code would not work. #1- You enrolled for you program on the incorrect page. Promo codes are specific to the program they are advertised for and will not work for other programs #2- You enrolled past the deadline for registrations. Enrollments past registration deadlines are subject to availability and at regular enrollment rates.
