Practical Exams and Assessments

Professional-level qualifications in adult health and fitness require confirmation of knowledge and skills competency. This is done through practical observation and testing to ensure a measurable standard of safe and effective practice. This assurance is what sets Fitness Alberta Certification apart. It is why our group exercise and personal training certifications:

• qualify for professional insurance coverage for our members
• are recognized by other national and international certification bodies, and
• are transferable across Canada and internationally

Your practical assessment is a cornerstone of our certifications. It means that you have demonstrated to a qualified professional, the skills and competency needed to offer safe and effective services in your certification.
