We’ll help you dissect the manual in a few ways, to add a little structure to your studies:
- NFPT Workbook – Supports your review and understanding of the Personal Fitness Trainer Manual. It includes 365 questions designed to reinforce the course learning objectives. Answer keys are provided for self-assessment. (digital workbook is included with all package purchases)
- Online Chapter Quizzes – Study one chapter at a time with chapter summaries and quizzes, this will gauge your understanding of the concepts as you complete each chapter. You can complete the quizzes as many times as you need to retain the information. (available through your online account with all package purchases)
If you do not want to be tied to a computer to study the material, and do not have the ability to print the digital manual from your account, you can purchase the Hard Copy Personal Fitness Trainer Manual and read it on the go.
