The National Fitness Leadership Association of Canada (NFLA) partnership of various non-profit organizations providing fitness accreditations for exercise professionals in Canada.  Each province has its own NFLA affiliate offering certifications for Fitness\/Exercise Theory<\/a>, Personal Training, Group Fitness, Aquatic Exercise, Older Adult (OA) Fitness<\/a>, and Resistance Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about certifications offered by NFLA and their regional partners is that it\u2019s recognized nationally through NFLA and internationally through the International Confederation of Registers for Exercise Professionals (ICREP)<\/a>. How convenient is that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting an NFLA Certification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can pursue many certifications depending on what specialty you want to work in (i.e.\u00a0personal training<\/a>, older adults, group fitness).\u00a0 But, they all involve taking the appropriate education and passing exam(s) with your regional NFLA Affiliate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you want to get your Fitness Theory certificate in BC, it is a 3 step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Study the\u00a0Fitness Theory course<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)\u00a0Register for the Fitness Theory exam<\/a>\u00a0and pass it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3)\u00a0Apply for certification<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we focused on BC with this example, the steps are similar to other provinces.  If you need help registering in other provinces, contact us for help.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
