Good for 6 months from the purchase date of your study program, our electronic exam vouchers allow you to easily register for an exam administered at a site near you without any additional cost. To redeem, you will simply follow the instructions in your My ACE Account that you create upon checkout. You will not receive a voucher in the mail or email. Exam vouchers are non-refundable and non-transferable.

In the event that you are unsuccessful in your first attempt at the ACE Personal Trainer exam, an exam retest voucher ensures you have another opportunity to pass the exam at no cost. You will still have access to your ACE Study Coaches and the ACE Resource Center as you prepare for your exam retest.

If your study program includes an exam retest voucher, it will automatically appear in your My ACE Account if you receive a failed exam score. Exam retest vouchers are non-refundable and non-transferable, and must be used within 60 days after a candidate’s initial failed exam date. Exam retest vouchers are only available to candidates who sit for and fail the exam on their first try, not to candidates who no-show for their first exam.

Designed to simulate the actual ACE Personal Trainer Certification exam, our practice tests include 60 multiple-choice questions, detailed score reports with immediate feedback on your performance, and explanations and references for each correct response.
