HPE 260 - Certified Personal Trainer

3 Cr.

This course is designed to bridge the gap between clinical exercise science related coursework and the practical application skills of personal training. Students will learn how to properly screen and evaluate clients for safe participation in an exercise program; design and implement exercise prescriptions for multiple populations and goal attainment, and apply the principles of exercise in a personal training environment. A Personal Training Certification is available through the National Council of Strength and Fitness upon successful completion of the course. Upon successful completion of the course (>2.5/4.0) and National Council of Strength and Fitness exam (>70%), students will have earned the title of Advanced Personal Trainer (NCSF-APT). Students that do not meet either one of these requirements will not be awarded certified status.(Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.)
