Trainer Academy provides excellent practice exams. They really helped me focus on important topics for the NASM-CPT exam. It was like taking the real test. Once I went in to take the real exam I felt super prepared thanks to these practice exams!

The trainer academy was very helpful. It helped me to know what to study and how to study it. I was so confused where to begin with all the information I received through ACE, the trainer helped me to break it down and I was able to pass my test, first time.

This study guide helped me pass the Nasm exam. I took it years ago and didn’t pass so I knew I would need help. Using the study guide of the chapters, practice quizzes and exams is what I found to be the most helpful. I felt fully prepared walking in to the test center and walked out a certified trainer.

Your Rookie package was extremely helpful! I was able to pass my exam no program. Granted, some of the questions were worded more complicated than the actual exam - but this helped prepare me even more. Truly, I walked away from the exam feeling like I got 99% of the questions correct. That is a great feeling. Thank you for the extra resources and for all the assistance!

Great results! I crammed for my exam in about 2 weeks and using the study materials really helped me figure out where to focus my efforts. Passed on my first try, would highly recommend to anyone looking to pass this exam. (Also significantly cheaper than having to rebook your exam or purchase a second exam voucher)
