MASTER PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAM

220-Hour Diploma Program

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Master Personal Trainer Program at the National Personal Training Institute is licensed by the Arizona Post Secondary Board of Education. A private, post-secondary school, the National Personal Training Institute offers courses leading to a diploma in Personal Training.

Through a robust course load, including 110 hours of theory and 110 hours of practical study, our graduates are prepared and certified for employment as personal trainers or fitness professionals in other capacities. The National Personal Training Institute Diploma is recognized throughout the United States as being one of the most reputable certifications a personal trainer can have.

What Sets Us Apart

ALTHOUGH A DIPLOMA FROM THE NATIONAL PERSONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE IS ALL YOU NEED TO BE EQUIPPED AND EMPLOYABLE AS A PERSONAL TRAINER, WE DON’T STOP THERE.

The program at the National Personal Training Institute is constructed to include education and training in several additional fitness areas which can lead to even more certifications for our students when they graduate. As one of the biggest educational partners of the National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM), NationalPTI has incorporated portions of the NASM curriculum into ours so that as students work toward their NationalPTI diplomas, they are also being prepared to sit for the NASM personal trainer certification exam. Many of our graduates go on to pass that exam and go into the workplace with not one, but two personal trainer certifications. 

Even more, we provide coursework in two areas of specialized training which other certifying bodies accept as continuing education units (CEUs.) At NPTI Arizona, Sling Training and Kettlebell Training are offered as part of our core curriculum, thus adding another layer of preparedness to our graduates that is simply lacking in most other newly certified personal trainers.

Last but not least, no trainer is employable without a current First Aid/CPR/AED certification. We wouldn’t let you out the door without providing this most fundamental component of a trainer’s qualifications.
