Exam Details
The Certified CrossFit Trainer examination consists of 160 multiple-choice questions. Of the questions, 140 count toward the score. The remaining 20 are not scored, but are included for a practice known as pretesting. Pretesting means that these items will be evaluated for potential inclusion on future examinations as scored questions. Each candidate has 3 hours and 55 minutes to complete the examination.
Candidates are tested on a broad range of topics such as Screening and Ongoing Assessment, Programming, Teaching, Coaching, Nutrition and Lifestyle, and Class Management and Professional Responsibilities. The CCFT is unique in its inclusion of videos and photos to test practical training skills and knowledge. The CCFT requires a significant number of hands-on coaching hours and is designed to test an individual’s ability to apply his or her knowledge gained from practical experience and education.
CCFT examinations are computer based and administered at Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide, including many U.S. military installations.
