Why W.I.T.S.?

• Classroom And Practical Training And Experience

• Since its inception 16 years ago, the World Instructor Training Schools has raised the bar for certification. Rather than just written tests, workforce standards were developed and correlated with LIVE hands on training to mirror established medical and health profession board exams. The 6-week format allows students to learn and practice, which prepares graduates to successfully execute operational essentials to help clients be their best with the lifestyle changes they need.

• Approved For College Credit And International Continuing Education Unit

• W.I.T.S. offers programs at hundreds of colleges and universities across the country and is a recognized education provider by the American Council on Education (ACE) and International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET.)
• W.I.T.S. successfully completed rigorous quality assurance processes and received approval and recognition for college credit and continuing education units (CEUs) for most certifications.

• W.I.T.S. Has Raised The Bar For Comprehensive Program Credibility.

• W.I.T.S. rejects the fitness industry’s traditional problematic home study and weekend crash certifications. Our curriculum has been developed and updated by education and fitness industry leaders and is taught by experienced instructors with education and fitness backgrounds and credentials. We hire the best professionals who will facilitate learning and communicate their passion for making a living helping others.

• Practical Hands-On Training And Application

• W.I.T.S. wants our graduates to feel confident in their competence as a successful personal trainer. Knowledge is power, but only if you know how to apply it. W.I.T.S. will walk you through every step under the watchful eye of a LIVE instructor each week. Your student workbook includes a library of resources for you to use and weekly pop quizzes will help make sure you are digesting the material.
