International Personal Trainer Academy Launches NCCA-Accredited CPT and CNS Certification Programs
DALLAS, TX (November 17, 2025) — The International Personal Trainer Academy (IPTA) announces the launch of its Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) programs.
These new certifications are designed to make high quality, scientifically based fitness certification accessible, affordable and achievable.
“Our goal was always to make a pathway for success in the fitness industry,” says Ben Rose, CEO of IPTA. “We founded IPTA after seeing that many accredited personal trainer certifications were both expensive and had low pass rates. Our goal was to make high-quality, accredited education more accessible. By maintaining the same rigorous academic standards while offering science-backed study materials that improve comprehension and retention, IPTA makes certification both affordable and attainable. It’s not just about passing an exam, it’s about building a lasting career in health and wellness.”

The key benefits of the IPTA programs are:
- NCCA accreditation, ensuring recognition and credibility across the fitness industry.
- Fully online coursework that adapts to each learner’s pace and schedule.
- Free textbook with no purchase or commitment required.
- Unlimited exam retakes and job placement guarantee
- Lifetime access to course materials and continuing education opportunities.
Both programs are built around the needs of today’s professionals. The fully online format allows students to complete coursework at their own pace.
“Getting a legitimate, accredited personal training certification has traditionally been expensive and out of reach for many aspiring trainers,” said Tyler Read, founder of PTPioneer.com and a recognized fitness certification expert. “It’s great to see IPTA enter the market with a fully accredited, affordable certification that not only provides all the essential study materials to prepare effectively for the exam, but also delivers the additional tools and resources needed to launch and succeed in a personal training career from day one.”
These new programs reflect IPTA’s commitment to making high quality, science backed fitness certifications more accessible and to empower fitness professionals to make meaningful health impacts in their communities.
After using IPTA to receive official certification, pilot user Maya Wolthuis shared her enthusiasm on Trust Pilot saying, “I earned my certification through IPTA two years ago, and it truly changed the course of my life! Today, I’m working as a trainer at my dream gym, and I’m so grateful for the knowledge and confidence the IPTA program gave me. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start their career in fitness.”
