FAQs

Do I have to renew these qualifications?

You must recertify/renew every two years to ensure that your NASM Personal Trainer credentials stay up to date with current best-practice guidelines and skills. You will be required to earn 2.0 NASM-approved CEUs every two-year period. This includes 0.1 CEUs from the mandatory CPR/AED certification.

The Nutrition Coach Certification (CNC) is also a certification, which means you must recertify every two years.

The Weight Loss Specialization (WLS) is a specialization, not a certification, which means it does not need to be renewed.

How long will I have to complete the courses?

You will have 180 days from the date of enrollment to take either of the exam options for the NASM Certified Personal Trainer program, and 365 days to complete your NASM Weight Loss Specialization and NASM Certified Nutrition Coach exam.

Trainer Testimonials

"There's a lot of different certification companies out there, but there's only one NASM. In terms of research and being the foremost leader in the fitness industry, no one can compare."

Nolan Hyland

NASM Master Trainer, NASM-CPT, NASM-MMACS

"You can do all the right things physically, and if you're not right nutritionally, it's a pretty uphill battle from there. Nutrition is also really key because, diet and exercise, those are the two components to being healthy."

James Llamas

NASM-CPT, NASM-CES, NASM-WLS, NASM-MMACS

"When my clients have made the nutritional changes they set out to make, they are so proud of themselves. And it's so inspiring to see the light in their eyes when they realize how much hard work they've put in, and how it paid off."
