NBFE Accreditation versus NCCA Accreditation

by Kathy

What is the difference between the NBFE (National Board of Fitness Examiners) that AFAA is affiliated with, and NCCA? Is one preferable to the other?

AFAA is not accredited
by: Liz

This is not an accredited certification program. I don't know why they are not. If you work for a gym, choose a cert that is accredited by the NCCA. This was SO disappointing after all this study. I found out the hard way.

AFAA is accredited, just not by NCCA
by: Katie - Admin

While I can't really compare and contrast the accreditation process of the NCCA versus NBFE, I do know that NCCA is the only accreditation that seems to matter in the personal training world. That doesn't mean that NBFE is bad, or that AFAA is a bad certification, they have just chosen a different path.

I'll leave it up to our clever readers to further distinguish between NBFE and NCCA.
