Fitness Theory Exam Challenges

Fitness Theory is a pre-requisite to the following IFC specialty modules: Group Fitness Leadership (GFL), Resistance Training Leadership (RTL), Aquafitness Leadership (AFL), Older Adult Fitness Leadership (OAFL) and Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT). In many cases people with training or education in these areas wish to challenge these exams.

Those who wish to challenge the Fitness Theory Exam, must pay an administrative fee of $75.00 + HST  to the IFC prior to writing the exam. This fee does not include the cost of the Fitness Theory manual. After reviewing the FT manual, you will contact the office to arrange for an appointment to write the exam in your area.

Please note: If you do not successfully pass the FT Exam (80% or higher) on your first attempt , you will be required to attend the full Basic Fitness Leader Course. Re-writes will not be granted on exam challenges.

Specialty Course Exam Challenges

If you would like to go on and challenge one of the specialty theory exams, you will be required to purchase the specialty manual from the IFC.  After reviewing the specialty manual, you will contact the IFC office to arrange for an appointment to write the exam in your area. The administration fee will not be charged to write the specialty theory exam if it is written at the same time as the Fitness Theory Exam. If a separate appointment is required to write the specialty exam, you must pay an additional administration fee of $75.00 + HST to the IFC.

Please note: If you do not successfully pass the Specialty Theory Exam (80% or higher) on your first attempt , you will be required to attend the full Specialty Course. Re-writes will not be granted on exam challenges.
