Step One

Register for the certification exam

Test your computer equipment to ensure compatibility for remote online proctoring before you register for an exam. NOTE: Google Chromebooks, iPads, and Android tablets are not supported for live remote proctoring.
Next, click on the appropriate ‘add to cart’ box below to begin online registration, or call NETA’s office at 1.800.237.6242 to register over the phone.
Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email including your receipt.
If you have any questions about remote online proctoring or the certification exam, please call NETA’s office at 1.800.237.6242 before you register for an exam.

Step Two

Schedule your exam with ProctorU

Within 24-48 hours, NETA will upload your information to ProctorU, at which time you will receive an automated email from ProctorU including instructions to set up your ProctorU account and to schedule your exam.
The first available appointment opening with ProctorU will display approximately 72 hours from the current date and time.
Your exam must be completed within one year of the registration date.
Remember to study prior to your exam!! NETA highly recommends that candidates devote an appropriate amount of time (e.g., at least 30-45 days) and effort to self-directed study prior to attempting the certification examination.

Step Three

Complete your exam

Prior to your exam date, please view the short What to Expect video and read the article, “Exam Day: What to Expect (Guardian).”
Effective January 1, 2023, ProctorU (Meazure Learning) will begin using the new Guardian Browser. Prior to your exam date, download the Guardian Browser based on your computer’s operating system (Windows OS or Mac OS).
It is also very important that you test your computer equipment prior to the exam date to ensure your computer is configured to support remote online proctoring. NOTE: Google Chromebooks, iPads, and Android tablets are not supported for live remote proctoring. If you plan to use a computer issued by your employer, then please be aware that administrative access may be necessary to download the Guardian Browser and the proctor chat (i.e., LogMeIn Rescue) applet file that will open a chat box allowing you to interact with your proctor.
Prior to the exam, set-up your exam space in a private, well-lit area, free of noise and distractions
Please refer to NETA’s Exam Candidate Handbook for important information, policies, and procedures regarding NETA’s NCCA-accredited Group Exercise Instructor and Personal Trainer certification exams.
Login to your ProctorU account at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.
When it’s time to begin, your identify will be verified, the physical and virtual environments secured, and then you will compete your exam.
You should expect the start-up process with the proctor to take about 10-15 minutes; however, this will not affect your exam time.
You will receive your exam results via USPS mail within 30 days of your exam date.

*IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: In order to use ProctorU, you will need a high-speed internet connection, a webcam (internal or external), a Windows or Apple (Mac) operating system, and a government-issued photo ID.
