Why Are We Offering The CPT Exam And Textbook For Free?

Unlike other certifying organizations, we provide the core Trainer Academy CPT Textbook for free, as we affirm in our Mission Statement, one of the primary purposes of the Trainer Academy CPT is to reduce the financial barriers for certification to allow students from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds access to the resources they need to not only pass the certification exam, but also exceed the knowledge and skill standards set by other industry-leading certifications.

We want to provide the maximum value possible to those certified by Trainer Academy which includes having the certification accredited by the NCCA in a timely manner.
