National Health Educators Certification
The master exam is multiple choice, true and false, it says that on their website. The master trainer program is for professionals with over five years experience so you shouldn?t need to study for it; you should only need a refresher on some of the topics that will be on the exam, that?s why I got one. My study guide was perfect because it only focused on what was going to be on the exam, nothing else. It sounds as though you are looking for a study guide/reference guide textbook with a lot more educational content. I think their level one is like 500 pages, but that?s because it?s for beginners and so it covers everything, much like the NASM or ISSA personal trainer study guides. As far as the price, I think they keep everything expensive so that they do not turn into another ACE or AFAA. There are plenty of cheap programs you can enroll in, if you are short on cash. Personally, I don?t think $300 is a lot of money. Maybe for a high school kid, working part-time at the local pizza joint it is, but for a professional, give me a break.
passed without a study guide
I've been a trainer for two years and i have a b.s in exercise science. i signed up to take the nhe pt level two and passed without a study guide. I wouldn't agree that is was easy, because I had a pretty tough time with it but it was a really well but together test and I don't think it's impossible to pass without a study guide. You just need to know exercise science. I heard about them from two friends of mine, who also passed the nhe exams. one bought the study guide and passed the fitness nutrition exam and my other friend has a masters degree in exercise physiology and passed without a study guide like me.
nhe certification exam guides
Anyone know of where I can find the exam guides cheap or borrow them from some one? I want to study as much a possible but the price for the guide is a little much now ;)
NHE study guide does anyone have one they would like to get rid of?
Does anyone have a NHE certication study guide that I could pick up? I will take the exam but want to use the study guide
[QUOTE=sarahlivian;275940671]I got a couple of those emails too and asked around before I got involved. Couple of the trainers at my gym are certified through national health educators and they said their exams are like trying to pass the bar exam. They got the study guide and said it really helped because there is no fee for retakes if you own a study guide. They showed my the study guide and it was amazing! Very different from what I'm used to. From what I've heard, the NHE personal trainer programs are pretty new but their study materials are the best I've seen. Their website is beautifully done and it's easy to navigate through which is the first sign of a well organized company. Unlike the ACE website that looks like it was designed in the 90's and is almost impossible to acquire any sort of specific information. I signed up for their volunteer program and i will be getting the study guide too. If you decide to do it too, make sure you get your confirmation email. Mine was sent to my junk folder on accident.

NHE Certification study guides
The study guides are awesome with tons of useful information. Get one new and don't be cheap by trying to get a used one because the new ones have the latest information and updates.
