                                                                         Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)

 

            In this project, I will be getting ready to obtain my certificate as a personal trainer. As a exercise science major I have obtained knowledge to aid in getting certified. The purpose to getting my CPT is to obtain application experience that can benefit me in continuous study as i plan to apply for graduate school to obtain my masters in human performance. By getting certified as a personal trainer I plan to work with clients, to build my resume so I could get the edge that other applicants might not have. The prerequisites for obtaining a CPT are 18 year or older, CPR/AED certificate, and have a high school or equivalent.

​

Goal:

My main goal in being PT is getting the hands-on experience that you don't get in a classroom setting. Putting what I've learned in theory, out in the real world application and learning things that I might not have learned in the classroom.

​

Outcome:

By having a certificate as a personal trainer I am in the search for clients, to build my resume to get an advantage other applicants might not have. I have yet to received my actual certificate as it take approximately 4 weeks and it only been two weeks since I took the test.

 

Deliverables:

I will be creating a website in which I will present my experiences to share for anyone else interesting in taking a similar path.
