Please note: The CSEP-Certified Fitness Consultant (CFC) certification ceased to exist as of January 1st, 2008. It has been merged with the new CSEP-Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification.

The CSEP-CPT certification will recognize individuals with formal post-secondary training in physical activity/exercise prescription focusing on health-related physical fitness. This training will allow them to provide individual physical activity/exercise prescription(s) to apparently healthy individuals.

The purpose of the CSEP-CPT designation is to establish the minimum standard in the Canadian personal fitness training industry; the same way the CFC designation did for health-related fitness assessment, physical activity and lifestyle counselling.

Description
 The CSEP sanctions a CSEP-CPT to use only the CPAFLA protocols to interpret a client's appraisal results against the Health Benefits Zones in the CPAFLA manual and to provide individualized physical activity/exercise prescriptions and lifestyle plans for apparently healthy individuals. The CSEP-CPT will engage clients in Step 6 or the Seven-Step Model as outlined in the CPAFLA manual providing a detailed, individualized action plan and physical activity/exercise prescription. The CSEP-CPT is NOT sanctioned by the CSEP to conduct any assessments beyond those outlined in the CPAFLA and the CSEP-CPT manuals. The details of the CSEP-CPT core competencies are tailored to the CPAFLA and its focus on health-related physical activity/exercise prescription. 

The certifications of the Atlantic CSEP H&FP are nationally recognized and transferable across Canada.
