Canfitpro Certification FAQs

I don’t live in Canada. Can I take the course?

Yes, anyone in the world can take our courses. Our PRO TRAINERS offer both in-person courses in Canada and virtual courses through Zoom. canfitpro certifications are recognized nationally and internationally. You will not need to pay “transfer fees” if you move between provinces.

 

Do I have to take a course before taking the certification exam?

No, the course is an educational tool to assist you in completing the examination procedure successfully. If you feel your current level of education and skill is enough, then you can proceed directly to the exam by registering for an Exam Challenge Package. There is a practical as well as theoretical (written) portion to the PTS exams. The Exam Challenge Package includes the supporting resources (manual and/or online resource/course) to ensure you can prepare for your exam.

When should I attempt the exam? What does the exam consist of?

We recommend that candidates attempt the Theory Exam approximately 3 – 5 weeks after taking the course. This gives adequate time to prepare for the exam. Those who choose the option to progress and become a certified Personal Training Specialist will complete a Theory and Practical Exam. These two components assess your theoretical knowledge, rapport building skills, and practical application of fitness theory to train clients. The Theory Exam consists of multiple-choice questions, plus a written client case study. The Practical Exam is an actual workout with a client that is evaluated by your PRO TRAINER.

I don’t know whether to take Personal Training Specialist (PTS) or Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) – How do I choose?

Do you want to work one-on-one with individuals or in a group setting? The Personal Training Specialist (PTS) certification will prepare you to work with individuals or small groups of up to 10 clients. The PTS certification qualifies you to evaluate, design, and monitor individual and small group training programs in health clubs, home, workplace, and virtual settings.

The Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) certification prepares you to lead large groups and teach safe and effective exercise classes. Learn to teach bootcamp, dance, step, martial arts, and traditionally inspired group fitness classes. The FIS certification includes leadership, motivation, practical training (class design, cueing, coaching, and multi-level teaching using music) to help you become a world-class group exercise instructor.

Can I work towards more than one certification at a time?

Yes, however, it is not recommended. In order to obtain the best possible results from your courses and exams, we suggest completing one designation at a time. This allows you to focus on learning, studying and applying your knowledge in one certification before switching to another program.

How do I register for courses or exams?

Register online or by calling canfirpro toll-free at 1-800-667-5622. 

Do I need to work with multiple organizations to certify?

Register with canfitpro online via our member portal. canfitpro will set you up with the course, exam, and materials. There’s no need to go to other course providers or organizations as canfitpro is the source for your complete certification from start to finish. 

How do I recertify?

To maintain your certification, you must: 

  • Renew your membership annually 
  • Earn 4.0 CECs per year per certification you hold. You can earn CECs: 
  • At one of our events 
  • Through canfitpro continuing education courses, certificates, webinars, and quizzes (click here to view) 
  • Complete a CPR recertification annually (click here to find a CPR course) 

Click here to watch a video tutorial on how to recertify in the canfitpro member portal. 

What kind of CPR do I need to become certified?

Basic Adult CPR (CPR Level A) certification obtained during a live course is required to become certified. First Aid is recommended although not required. CPR is valid up to one (1) year from the date it was originally issued. CPR recertification must be completed annually to renew your certification(s). 

How long will it take for my course materials to arrive?

Regular shipping will take 10 business days. Express shipping is available at an additional cost and will take three (3) to four (4) business days.
