Group Fitness & Personal Training Test Only Options by NETA

Attention (Updated November 19, 2020): We are happy to announce that the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) has determined that it is possible to meet the NCCA’s Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs when using live remote online proctoring. As such, NETA’s NCCA-accredited Group Exercise Instructor and Personal Trainer Certification Exams are now open for scheduling with ProctorU. If you have already registered for an exam, then within one business day of your registration an invitation email was delivered to you from noreply@proctoru.com with the subject line “Schedule Your NETA Certification Exam.” That email includes a unique URL to activate an account with ProctorU and to schedule your NETA certification exam. Please check your inbox (and junk/spam folder) for this important email. If you have questions, please contact NETA’s Director of Certification at 1-800-237-6242 Ext. 4726 or michael@netafit.org.

Completing your certification exam is as easy as 1-2-3.

Your exam must be completed within one year of the registration date.
Remember to study prior to your exam!! NETA highly recommends that candidates devote an appropriate amount of time (e.g., at least 30-45 days) and effort to self-directed study prior to attempting the certification examination.

Step Three

Complete your exam

Visit the ProctorU Resource Center to learn what to expect before and during your exam. Please view the short video titled, Candidate Experience: Certification and Professional Testing Organizations.
It is also very important that you test your computer equipment prior to the exam date to ensure your computer is configured to support remote online proctoring. NOTE: Google Chromebooks, iPads, and Android tablets are not supported for live remote proctoring. You must use a compatible Internet browser including either Google Chrome (preferred) or Mozilla Firefox.
Prior to the exam, set-up your exam space in a private, well-lit area, free of noise and distractions
Please refer to NETA’s Exam Candidate Handbook for important information, policies, and procedures regarding NETA’s NCCA-accredited Group Exercise Instructor and Personal Trainer certification exams.
Login to your ProctorU account at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.
When it’s time to begin, your identify will be verified, the physical and virtual environments secured, and then you will compete your exam.
You should expect the start-up process with the proctor to take about 10-15 minutes; however, this will not affect your exam time.
You will receive your exam results via USPS mail within 30 days of your exam date.
