The NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer Certification Exam is offered as a proctored, computer based exam at Prometric Centers. The exam is also proctored by NESTA ECB members and/or NESTA Recertification and Continuing Education Staff.

International and Military exam candidates will utilize a NESTA ECB recognized and approved proctor. NESTA approved proctors include teachers, professors, librarians, fitness managers or other acceptable professionals who have neither a business nor personal relationship with the exam candidate. It is the responsibility of the exam candidate to find a proctor that is acceptable to NESTA by filling out and submitting the Proctor Agreement Form at least 30 days prior to preferred exam date or exam deadline. Failure to submit a completed proctor agreement 30 days prior to exam schedule date or exam deadline may result in a loss of examination opportunity and forfeiture of exam fees.

Before proceeding, please download and read the Personal Fitness Trainer Candidate Handbook for details on this procedure and exam policies.

To receive approval, please download and submit our Personal Fitness Trainer Exam Proctor Agreement Form

If approved, exam information and instructions will be emailed to the assigned proctor.
