Good value and easy to learn.
Good value and easy to learn. HOWEVER, a lot of companies want you to get a CPT from a more recognized organization. But as long as your company is ok with any accredited org you'll be fine. That being said, I was able to get a job as a CPT within a month of completing my test. The job site is at my local community center where we get a good flow of clients from a nearby sports rehab facility. I would say that the material was easy to follow, you get the textbook as a pdf but the site has a feature that gives you summaries of each chapter with a short quiz after. Definitely recommend to anyone trying to get a good value, but just check what the jobs in your area require.

Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for the review — and congratulations on landing a CPT job so quickly! That’s great to hear. You’re absolutely right that different employers have different certification preferences. For most fitness careers, though, an NCCA-accredited certification like the IPTA CPT meets industry standards and is widely accepted. Your success is a perfect example. We’re also glad the textbook, study guide, and quizzes made the learning process smooth for you. Thanks again for the recommendation, and best of luck as you continue helping clients at your community center!
