Overview

Requirements for Fitness Trainer Certification

Before you can take any of the different certification tests for becoming a fitness trainer, you have to meet certain standards. These standards will sometimes change according to the type of fitness trainer certification you're applying for, as well as the standards set by the ruling body of the fitness organization from which you're applying for certification. A good rule of thumb is to make inquiries before applying for a certification test, asking what requirements the organization may have. By and large, however, here are some of the requirements that are common to most, if not all, fitness organizations for certification.

Age Limit and Diploma - most organizations will set the age limit for their certified trainers at around 18 or 21 and will require, at the least, a high school degree. Not every group requires college degrees, though some of the stricter ones require college degrees in sports sciences even for basic fitness trainer positions. If you're applying for advanced trainer courses though, such college degrees are a hard prerequisite.

First Aid Training, Especially CPR - knowledge of first aid is a must, and the minimum requirement you can expect to see in most organizations is a certification from taking at least a CPR course. These certificates must be at least 1 year up to date, and old or expired certificates are not accepted. Some certification courses require full first aid training, right down to splinting broken bones and dealing with shock and trauma. This is more commonly needed in fitness trainers for sports therapy-related fields. We will be discussing first aid in-depth in an upcoming chapter.
