The Revolutionary Personal Training Certification
The FEA Certified Fitness Practitioner (Personal Trainer), or CFP, is not just your regular personal trainer certification program. It is a job-based training and certification program designed to produce highly employable and certified fitness professionals of international standards. To achieve its objective, the course delivery balances between academic focus and vocational learning.
The grading criteria are established based on international job analysis study and job competency. Three major job competency areas are emphasized and evaluated as part of the grading criteria. These skills include demonstrating and coaching individual exercises, delivering effective personal training sessions, and the trainers’ ability to work with real-life clients, encompassing initial rapport building, interviews, assessments, program implementation, and adjustments through a live case study.

Congrats to Eric Chia for passing the EuropeActive accredited international certification, FEA Certified Fitness Practitioner: Personal Trainer (EQF Level 4)! He is also now a member of the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS). 👏 Let’s hear what he has to say:
“After months of hard-work and learning, attending classes and sitting for exams, we are officially Certified Personal Trainers. I’m glad to have passed all the exams on first attempt, as I really hate exams so retaking exams will be a pain and unnecessarily stressful. It wasn’t easy as there were multiple modules with multiple exams, both theory and practical, but I’m glad we got through. Thanks to the edutrainers at @fitm.official_ and all my classmates. Congratulations to you guys for getting certified too, and goodluck with your future as fitness practitioners.“

“My passion for fitness began about 5 to 6 years ago. Initially, I started working out in the gym to build muscle, as I was very skinny. However, during the MCO period, I transitioned to bodyweight training due to restrictions and now primarily focus on calisthenics. I joined FITM to gain knowledge in personal training, having heard great things about it through social media and from others.
My learning experience at FITM has been fantastic. I appreciated the mix of theory and practical learning, with FEA Edutrainer, Simran making the classes very interactive and engaging for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the practical side of the training, which helped me build a solid foundation for training others.
For the FEA CFP exam, I focused on doing practice questions repeatedly and revising them. Making notes and key points on topics I found challenging reinforced my understanding. I also benefited from discussions and seeking help from coursemates whenever I faced difficulties. Thanks to the FEA PT course, I am now working as a personal trainer within my community.”
