NCCA

Guess who’s the latest NCCA accepted Certification? You bought it, NETA!

Inside the previous couple of months, NETA is now acknowledged as one of many prime certification packages with their accreditation from NCCA. Excellent news for us!

Certifications

NETA has two certifications, Private Coach and Group Train Teacher. I am going to focus on the Private Coach certification, however take a look at the web site if you’re within the Group Train Teacher certification as nicely. (It is similar to the Private Coach Certification)

The Private Coach Certification goes after my most valued facet of coaching, truly sensible hands-on expertise of their coaching! Though you do NOT should take any workshops or purchase any supplies to take the examination (not like locations like NASM), I consider it is a required a part of your schooling.

The examination supplies are fairly low cost. My weak addition tallies all of the books as much as be a complete of $80.

Popularity / Recognition

NETA is new on the scene and isn’t as acknowledged as the long term gamers (ACE, ACSM, NASM, NCSF, NSCA). It’ll take a while for folks to know what NETA is, particularly because it modified its identify from NDEITA not too way back. It additionally will get a bit confused with NESTA…evidently, the Acronym Soup is getting blended up fairly a bit!

Eligibility

So as to sit for the NETA examination, you have to be 18 years of age, have a present CPR certificates, and that is it!!!

Examination

The examination is run everywhere in the nation at numerous testing facilities, referred to as “Comira”, which is nice information! As I discussed, there is no such thing as a pre-requirements aside from what’s said above to sit down for the examination. You needn’t buy or attend any NETA programs to sit down for the examination.

Though I like to recommend at the very least getting the books, you’ll be able to actually benefit from their weekend workshops to essentially be taught your materials nicely.

Workshops

NETA provides a Private Coach Certification Workshop for a fairly cheap price ($349 if you happen to register 30 days earlier than) and is out there everywhere in the nation on the weekends.

It runs Saturday to Sunday and is equal to 14 CEC’s (for these of you who want a large quantity of CEC’s shortly for recertification!)

Additionally they advocate that you just buy the $80 in studying materials and research it earlier than you attend.

Prices

To this point, they are not too dangerous in the associated fee division. Here is the breakdown:

Workshop – $349 (early registration) to $389 (stroll up)

Examination Alone – $249

Books Advisable – $80

Residence Research Assessment – $39

These all appear fairly cheap to me, particularly for the reason that workshop must be native to your space, or at worst, a one night time resort keep.

Validity

NETA’s Private Coach Certification is legitimate for 2 years when you move the examination.

CEC’s

The CEC requirement is for 20 hours of Persevering with Training earlier than you’ll be able to renew your Certification. (Value for Renewal – $45)

NETA accepts nearly all the opposite NCCA CEC credit too. So you may take a CEC class for ACE (and nonetheless use it to recertify with ACE) and get credit score with NETA too. Fairly slick, huh?

NETA does require that 6 of your CEC’s come immediately from NETA, however that is lower than 40% of the requirement.

Test their web site to confirm that your CEC’s at different organizations will rely, however their coverage appears fairly liberal. They don’t seem to be making an attempt to exploit each single greenback from their members like a couple of of the opposite certification organizations.

Renewal

Renewal is not too tough, you embody any photocopies of your CEC lessons(people who aren’t from NETA), the $45 payment, and the recertification paperwork postmarked by the expiration date.

If the letter is postmarked later than the expiration date, numerous charges are added based mostly on how late the letter is acquired. After 180 days, you’ll be able to’t renew and should recertify.

Abstract

NETA is a brand new participant on the NCCA block, which immediately offers it loads of credibility that it did not have only a few years in the past. They seem to essentially be working onerous on increasing their consumer base with trustworthy pricing, improbable studying alternatives, and different facilities.

Though strolling right into a health club and saying you are NETA licensed might get a couple of quizzical appears to be like, in time this certification will solely achieve in acceptance. Coupled with one other certification, NETA could be a good way to reinforce your schooling {and professional} credentials.
