FAQs

Do I have to renew these qualifications?

NASM’s Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) is a certification, which means you must recertify every two years.

On the contrary, the Performance Enhancement Specialization (PES) and Youth Exercise Specialization (YES) are specializations, not certifications, which means they do not need to be renewed. Once you pass your PES and YES final exams, your NASM-PES and NASM-YES specialization certificates never expire.

What are Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?

In order to recertify, NASM-CPTs are required to earn 2.0 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every two years. The NASM-PES is worth 1.9 CEUs and the NASM-YES is worth 1.0 CEUs, meaning that after completing these courses you would already have more than enough CEUs to recertify!

How long will I have to complete the courses?

You have 6 months to complete the NASM-CPT final exam and will have 5 years to access course content. You will have 1 year to complete your NASM-PES and NASM-YES final exams and access to course content for 1 year. Each course is typically completed in just 8-12 weeks, and the NASM-CPT course is completed in as few as 4 weeks. Extensions are available for each course for an additional fee.

What is the Optimum Performance Training® Model?

The OPT™ Model is our fitness training system based on scientific evidence and principles. The NASM-CPT program utilizes the Optimum Performance framework to ensure that all trainers are well-versed in our training methods. Read here to learn more about the OPT™ Model.

How are the final exams administered?

NASM’s Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) is an NCCA accredited certification, meaning you must pass a live proctored exam, which can be administered online or in-person. On the contrary, the Performance Enhancement Specialization (PES) and Youth Exercise Specialization (YES) final exams are administered online and can be taken from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you prefer to take tests.

What if I do not pass the NASM-CPT final exam?

Don't fret! A free retest is included as part of the NASM-CPT Guided Study program. For more details, please refer to your Candidate Handbook.
