There is no uniform standard for the qualification certificate of fitness instructors in China, and there are many departments that certify fitness instructors, such as Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Talent Exchange Service Center of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the State Sports General Administration.

The nature of the certificates issued is the same, but the impact will be different. Different training institutions will also issue certificates from their own institutions. Although it is not issued by the state, many of them will be recognized by employment units, because employment units need talents who have certain abilities and can create value for the company.

To obtain the national vocational qualification certificate of fitness coach, you must go to the "sports industry-specific vocational training pilot unit" authorized by the State Sports General Administration (officially listed, subject to the number of training institutions) for training, and the training unit will organize to participate in the appraisal of professional skill appraisal stations for specific jobs in the sports industry in various provinces (the State Sports General Administration will organize a number of appraisers with appraisal qualifications), and pass the public theory, professional theory and practical skills examination, and those who pass the examination will be awarded the national fitness coach.
