For those of you who have emailed me questions in the past on different schools, and asked my opinion, I wanted to offer you a first hand look at this program. I will continue to give you updates as I go through about what I think. This way, you will be able to make an educated decision if NFPT is a match for you as well.
Week one of NFPT (National Federation of Professional Trainers) is underway and I am blown away at all I have to learn. It's been a long time since I've been in school. I am honestly a little overwhelmed. My husband and family continue to tell me "take it one page at a time". This program is no joke! It is not a 2-3 day crash course followed by a quick exam on line and calling yourself certified. This is some serious information. Which, in the end, I will be happy to have. The program is outlined for an 8 week completion. If you are not ready to take the exam at that time, you can extend the testing date up to one year from the day you started the program.
I was informed I would receive my books 5-7 days after I registered my password on line. It took only three days. The books are spiral bound so you can fold them for easy note taking and have the study guide right there with you. The front cover is made of a heavy card stock gloss paper with a black plastic back cover for lots of use and durability.
With this on-line program, you can read all the materials on your computer or go through the actual Certification Manual and Study Guide. This is my preferred method as I can hi-light as I go through and take notes. The Study Guide is broken into tabbed sections. Whether your taking notes, filling in graphs, or following along in the step by step outline, you have it all planned out for easy use.
The Certification Manual is your reading materials. You are instructed which chapters to read each week and where to find the workbook pages to coincide. The book is printed in black and white, with color photos available on your computer. Each week you read several chapters. As I stumble over a few unfamiliar words, never studying anatomy before, it is written in a manner which anyone can decipher and understand.Like I said prior, getting back into the swing of school is going to be key. Well, back at it....

I know you can do it! Looks a lot like what I had to study! Just one page at a time.
You are not the common blog writer, man. You certainly have something powerful to contribute to the net. Such a good blog. I’ll be back for more.
