Many of you have emailed asking what 3rd party accreditation is, and what it's about. I've taken the time to post an excerpt about the NCCA, the organization that governs 3rd party accreditation within the Health & Wellness Industry. If you'd like to know more about the organization, simply click on the title, and you will be redirected to the appropriate page. I hope this helps to bring some light to this very important issue within our industry.
"The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) was created in 1987 by ICE to help ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the public through the accreditation of a variety of certification programs/organizations that assess professional competence. Certification programs that receive NCCA Accreditation demonstrate compliance with the NCCA’s Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs, which were the first standards for professional certification programs developed by the industry."
Welcome!

Thank you for the reply. The certification weekend is an intensive three day course that reviews the material necessary to pass the AFAA examination to become a third-party accredited nationally certified personal fitness trainer. Additionally, participants are introduced to the elements (Anatomy, Physiology, Business science, etc.) that will serve to form the foundation for the future careers as fitness professionals.
