Fully Accredited and Recognized

NAFC complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation, NAFC is authorized to issue the IACET CEU. For more details, visit the IACET website. www.iacet.org
NAFC chose IACET Accreditation for its emphasis on quality for course content development as well as for the exam process.
The National Association for Fitness Certification (NAFC) has been recognized and approved as a full affiliate of the National Board of Fitness Examiners. NBFE ensures credibility for the fitness industry by setting and maintaining the national standard of practice in our field. For more details, visit the NBFE website.
Career School and Post Graduate Program
NAFC is one of the only certifying organizations that is also a post-secondary licensed career school. We are a private post-secondary career school licensed by the Higher Education Coordinating Commission through the state of Oregon (OHECC). This allows us to issue college credits through our career school for several NAFC Certification courses and a Medical Fitness Post Graduate Diploma Program. This addresses the eventuality of states requiring licensure in the Medical Fitness space as well as possibly the fitness space as certification alone may, in the future, not be enough to satisfy requirements.
A WORD FROM NAFC GRADUATES
There is something that sets the NAFC apart from the over-educated trainer who has no understanding of how to apply head knowledge to Results. NAFC taught me something special years ago. I am one of those Loyal Hearts!
Kristen A.
NAFC actually stops and asks the question why. Why should you do this exercise? Why should you do this movement? They really focus on proper body movement and injury prevention which is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL if you are going to be in the fitness field. Their study tools are actually engaging, especially their interactive study section. I can’t recommend NAFC enough!
Riley
I just completed my ACSM CPT exam after having completed the NAFC Health and Wellness Coach Cert. I have to say the NAFC is a more challenging process and offered a much more comprehensive education.
Cara
Testing was convenient and the master trainer I tested with was very knowledgeable, personable and professional. I would give NAFC an A for sure as I came away with confidence that I could easily help people achieve their goals at any level.
