Job Placement Assistance

You also receive some extra services with your National Personal Training Institute certification. They are one of the few organizations that provide full service job placement assistance. They can do this because employers recognize the value of the program. Employers tend to snatch up NPTI grads quickly because they have real world personal training experience which helps them generate revenue much more quickly than somebody who has completed a short certification program.

National Personal Training Institute Certification Costs

You probably know by now that this one is not going to be cheap. The tuition varies slightly by location but $5,900-$6300 seems to be the most common values. Keep in mind that this includes all of your materials, exam costs, CPR/AED & First Aid certifications and your gym membership for 6-12 months depending on the program. Keep in mind also that the comprehensive nature of this program will get you up to speed quicker than the shorter programs allowing you to earn a higher income faster.

Financial assistance and loan programs are available through NPTI which allow you to borrow up to 60% of the tuition and your living costs during the program.
