Go Beyond a Personal Training Certification
An exam-pass personal training certification isn’t enough anymore. Anyone can get one in a few weeks. The industry has shifted from real education to a system that offers the bare minimum, then requires you to spend thousands on CEUs just to maintain it. The National Personal Training Institute is the only place where you can receive a complete, career-focused education all at once—no ongoing CEUs, no patchwork learning, just everything you need to launch your profession with confidence.
Our Distinct Advantage:
The National Personal Training Institute Program Includes:
- Personal Training Diploma Certification: Personal Training Diploma Program recognized nationally and internationally as one of the highest stand-alone certifying credential for a personal trainer. Your credentials are all valid for life, offering one of the highest levels of education in the fitness industry. 8-10X’s more education than every other certification. The only nationally recognized credential licensed by the Department of Education.
- Nutrition Certification: Included in your Diploma program is nutrition education. Comprehensive training in nutrition complements your personal training skills.
- NASM-CPT/ACD – Academic Hands-on Certificate of Distinction: Optional bonus: A higher version of the National Academy of Sports Medicine Certification recognizing 200hrs of hands-on training.
- Worldwide Lifetime Job Placement Assistance: Unlike exam-pass certifications, we are required by statute to insure high job placement and salary standards. This qualification opens doors to high-paying roles that require more than just an exam-pass certification. Also, we teach you how to start your own business.

- 200 Hours of Hands-on Training – Practice what you learn, train others and others will train you. Get in the best shape of your life.

We are not an online, local or community college with limited brand recognition and state access. This is not a prep course for a certification like every other program you see in a college setting. Avoid them if you want more than just an exam-pass certification and courses that don’t lead to a credential. We are the only national program where your education becomes your credential. The National Personal Training Institute is the largest personal training school in the world, with a commanding presence across the United States, Canada, and Internationally, with Locations Near You.
Unlike a basic personal training certification, our qualification never expires, requires no continuing education units (CEUs), and involves no renewal fees saving you ~$5000 in 5 years.
