FCC’s Fitness/Personal Trainer Certificate program prepares students for a career in personal training and allows students to enter the workforce directly after earning the certificate.  Certification is through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). The Fitness/Personal Trainer Certificate can be earned alone or as part of the Health and Exercise Sciences Associate Degree.
