Education & Certification

Personal Training Education - DVD with Live Applied Training

The Personal Training Education DVD with Applied Training course will help to prepare you with the knowledge, skills and abilities to become a Personal Trainer. This course contains all of the 4-day Education course lectures in a computer-based DVD format to allow for convenient self-paced study. The 2-day Applied Training workshop held in Dallas, Texas at The Cooper Institute, teaches the skill-based aspects of personal training and administering fitness assessments.

The Personal Training Education, based upon fundamental scientific research in the field of physical activity, provides those interested in providing personal training and fitness guidance with necessary training in fitness leadership and technical skills to implement individualized programs that are safe, effective and motivational. This DVD delivery method and workshop is recommended for individuals who prefer to study lecture materials in self-paced study via computer based learning and those who prefer to participate in practical applied activities in a group setting. (The course fee includes automatic shipping of The Cooper Institute Personal Training Manual and Instruction computer-based DVD.)

PLEASE NOTE:
We recommend signing up for this course at least one month before the Live Applied Training. This will allow for the 40 hours needed to view the lectures on your computer and study the accompanying manual.
