HUGE NASM-CPT Testing Change || NASM Podcast Featuring Axiom Fitness Academy Founder Joe Drake

[@carrie7641]

Can you do non proctored and then do the proctored and if so are both included in cost

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Yes! Both are included

[@jasminecoffman7049]

Both options expire after 180 days of starting the course. Mine expires in December. I feel like if I were to do the non-proctored version this month, I'd still only have 2 or so months before my proctored exam expires. Right?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

You are correct. Taking 1 doesn’t impact the other.

[@johnyates153]

My two favorites in the business !! Been waiting to see you together !! Have learned so much more in compete knowledge from you two!! Glad NASM is reaching out adding more.ways to succeed !

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

It was a blast!

[@brandonguillory7874]

can you still get a job with the trainer certificate?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

The real answer to this is “maybe,” as it will depend on the employer. Some gyms will require an NCCA accredited certification to obtain employment and start training clients while others may hire trainers with the non-accredited certificate provided they obtain accreditation within a defined time period such as 60-90 days. It’s important to discuss hiring requirements with potential employers early to ensure eligibility and minimize disappointment.

'I've purchased the CPT course and exam, how do we access the non-proctored Trainer Certificate exam?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Hey Jack. You should be able to access the non-proctored exam via your NASM account. If you don't see it, then you can always have a NASM rep add it to your account.

Does this effect the ability of CE?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Not sure I understand the question.

[@debra-annkretschmer3270]

@@Axiomfitnessacademy if you take the open book test route does it effect the continuing education CE credits in two years?

[@naveedsperspective]

Great breakdown of what's going on! Love your videos! I am in the process of studying for the proctored exam. Have a bit of anxiety going in, but I know this is what I want to do. Are we allowed to take the non-proctored exam as almost like a practice exam? I have my proctored exam set up for sep 20th of this year, but from what I understood I can take the non proctored and still take the proctored without having to pay another fee? Thanks!

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Yes! You can (and should!) use the non-proctored exam for practice without any additional fees.

[@naveedsperspective]

​@@Axiomfitnessacademy I will definitely take advantage of this. Thank you!

How do I choose the non-proctored version? I do not see it on my NASM account.

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

You may need to call NASM and ask them to add the option to your account.
