Nordic Personal Trainer Certificate
The Nordic Personal Trainer Certificate (NPTC) is an innovative online course created as a simple and effective solution to becoming a European Level 4 Certified Personal Trainer! The course has been designed specifically to support students who need to continue working to earn a living whilst they study to become a fitness professional.
Our goal was to achieve the same quality and scope of education through e-learning as could be provided through traditional face to face courses. The NPTC was the first, purely online programme of study to achieve full, professional, Level 4 accreditation through Europe Active.
