Certification and Education Serve Different Purposes
Certification verifies that a candidate has met the applicable
eligibility and examination requirements for a credential.
Education, training, study resources, and exam-preparation
materials support learning, but they are separate from the
certification decision.
Candidates pursuing the W.I.T.S. Certified Personal Trainer
credential may register for the required certification
examinations without purchasing W.I.T.S. training or
preparatory materials. W.I.T.S. education and study resources
are optional, and candidates may prepare using materials of
their choice.
