Need help getting started on your NASM Certified Personal Trainer course or another NASM certification in Thailand?
Here are some of the commonly asked questions we get regarding doing your personal training qualifications in Bangkok.
Do you offer personal trainer certifications in English?
Yes, we run NASM CPT courses and other internationally recognized qualfications such as the Eleiko Weightlifting course in English. Exams and all materials are also in English.
Do you offer personal training certifications in Thai?
Yes, we also offer personal training certifications in Thai language. Our Thai language courses are popular, so make sure you book early!
What is the process of getting certified in Thailand?
The courses are part self study, part live course. All materials are sent to you on registration and you can start studying and learning. We strongly recommend the live in-person courses where possible, as you get to learn from a NASM master trainer and experiment with practical application.
At the end of the course, once you are ready, you will need to pass an exam to receive your certification. This can be done at our facility in Bangkok, or as a supervised online exam with our team.
How long does it take to get certified?
This depends on your work rate and commitment to the course and learning. You have up to one year to prepare for the exam with most students taking 1-3 months to complete the course and get certified.
Is the NASM CPT Course internationally recognised?
Yes, the CPT course is the fitness industry’s leading personal trainer certification, is recognized internationally and can be used around the world – except for Australia and New Zealand, which require local certifications for fitness professionals.
Can the NASM International CPT Course be used in the USA?
To be certified in the USA, the additional NCCA accredited NASM CPT course exam must also be completed. This additional exam is only needed for students intending to work in the USA.
The NCCA accredited NASM CPT course includes one exam attempt in the fee, with additional attempts incurring extra fees.
How many days do the live courses run for?
For our NASM CPT course, we typically run these over a four-day period, covering Saturday and Sunday in two consecutive weekends.
If we are accommodating travelers to Bangkok we sometimes run three-day courses that run from Friday to Sunday.
How many hours a day are the courses?
During our four-day courses, the learning time runs from 10am-4pm. For our three-day courses we run from 8am-5pm to ensure we get through all the learning and practical work.
Each practical learning day comes with a one-hour lunchbreak.
How many exam attempts do I get with the course?
The NASM CPT course comes with three attempts to pass the test, included in the price. If the exam is failed three times, there is a fee for any additional attempt.
When is the next course?
You can view all of our course dates here.
How much does it cost?
The NASM CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) course is 37,900 THB. Other course prices can be viewed here.
Where will the course take place?
We use our BASE Langsuan location for our classroom time, with some practical work taking place at our BASE Amarin gym.
How do I complete the course and get certified?
The exam must be passed to complete the certification. Once you are confident that you know the course material well, you can book in your exam.
How and where do I take the exam?
The exam can be done either in person at BASE, or online with supervision from our BASE Pro team through TeamViewer.
How many attempts do I get to pass the exam?
The course fee includes three attempts to pass the exam. If you do not pass within three attempts, there is an extra cost for additional attempts.
How do I collect my certificate?
Once the exam has been passed, you can collect your certificate at BASE, or we can send you the certificate with a fee to cover postage.
How long is the NASM Certified Personal Trainer valid for?
To keep the NASM Certified Personal Trainer, valid you are required to earn 2.0 NASM-approved CEUs every two-year period. This includes 0.1 CEUs from the mandatory CPR/AED course.
CEUs – which are essentially ‘points’ issued for further NASM-approved learning and courses – ensure you’re up to date with best-practices and knowledge.

How do I register for the course?
Contact us or you can purchase our courses here.
Do you accept installment payments?
We do not accept installment payments. We can, however, accept two monthly payments of 50% of the total course fee if you would like to reserve a promotional price and your place in the course, but we cannot release the course materials until full payment has been received by BASE Pro.
Can I get an student visa during my course study?
Currently we do not offer the option to apply for a Thailand education or student visa whilst doing the course.
