From the website:

"The National Council for Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT) was founded in 1995. The NCCPT Certification Board was established in 2009. During this time, the NCCPT certifications were first developed to recognize those individuals who are able to demonstrate competent knowledge and skills needed to perform as trainers in the fitness industry. The NCCPT certification programs, which are accredited by the National Commission of Certifying agencies (NCCA) serve as key indicators to fitness employers and other potential fitness clients that the trainer has proficiency to provide competent training in fitness. Individuals who earn the NCCPT credential have demonstrated knowledge of the professional domains that encompass the tasks and knowledge 5 required of a personal trainer in the fitness profession. By meeting the eligibility criteria and successfully completing an NCCPT certification exam, certificants are able to display their aptitude as professionals in fitness training. Since 2005, the NCCPT certification program has certified over 8,000 individuals in the Personal Training industry."
