For the Certified Personal Trainer program, you have the choice between two exams—a non-proctored Certificate exam, and a proctored NCCA-Accredited Certification exam. Here are some of the major differences between the two:

  • • The non-proctored exam has 100 questions; the proctored exam has 120 questions.

  • • You have 3 hours to complete the non-proctored exam; you have 2 hours to complete the proctored exam.

  • • The non-proctored exam is open-book; the proctored exam is not.

  • • The non-proctored exam confers a Certificate as a Personal Trainer; the proctored exam confers an NCCA-Accredited Certification as a Personal Trainer.

The choice of exam is up to you and in most cases simply depends on what your employer requires.

The final exams for the Corrective Exercise Specialization and Nutrition Coach Certification programs are taken online and features:

  • • 100 multiple-choice questions

  • • 90 minutes to complete

  • • Open-book format

  • • 70% required to pass

  • • 3 attempts for each exam

For the Certified Personal Trainer program, your retest options are as follows:

The non-proctored exam includes 3 attempts to pass. After that, you can purchase additional retests from NASM Member Services.

The proctored, NCCA-accredited exam includes 2 attempts to pass (since this bundle comes with the All-Inclusive version of the program). After that, you can purchase additional retests from NASM Member Services.

Both the Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach credentials must be renewed every two years.

The Corrective Exercise Specialization will never expire and does not need to be renewed.
