Why is accreditation important? Beginning January 1, 2006, the International Health, Racquet and Sports Association (IHRSA) recommended that, at a minimum, member clubs hire personal trainers who hold a current certification from a certifying body that has third-party accreditation of its certification procedures and protocols thus, the NCCA was chosen for PT certifications to meet these high standards.
