New Hire Guarantee
Cabrillo’s Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certificate program has long offered what we call a "new-hire guarantee." This means that a new hire from our program will be billable and productive on day one of their new job. Along with this guarantee comes one year of free technical support for any student that is newly employed.
Student Testimonial from Jason Matthews
"Cabrillo's kinesiology personal training and weight-loss courses were instrumental in my fitness journey. On day one, my every ounce of apprehension was dissolved by the radiant compassion with which I was greeted. From that moment on, Cabrillo was a gateway to a world of wellness I didn't know existed, led by an instructor whose dedication to helping others has inspired me to do the same."
