Leadership

     The success and comprehensive nature of the Inmate Programs is due largely to the leadership of the Administration. The top managers of the facility consistently emphasize values of personal responsibility, individual growth and provide the backdrop for this unique curriculum.

     Thousands of inmates have spent hours learning and developing skills that will serve them in the future and provide the skills required to get and maintain employment. This training is a key ingredient to success upon release.That’s why learning a viable trade is so vital. When offenders learn an in-demand skill, it empowers them to one day become qualified employees, or even self-employed proprietors of their own businesses. Being able to support themselves helps keep former inmates on the path of a law-abiding life.

     Being employed instills a sense of purpose and self-esteem. PROPTA offers Certified Personal Trainer, and  Certified Nutrition Tech courses.The Professional Personal Trainers Association PROPTA has been successful in assisting inmates to complete and implement federal prison education courses. It is rewarding to be part of improving the quality of life for hundreds of inmates, and teach them the responsibilities needed to be a confident and responsible citizen that contributes to the community in a positive way.

When can I Start ?

Start anytime you are ready.

    •  Registration must be processed online.
  • Inmates are not allowed to access the internet while incarcerated, a family member or friend can process the registration and pay the fee and we will do the rest.

Is there a time limit on the inmate PROPTA courses?

Inmates will have 90 days (3 months) to complete the PROPTA-CPT or the PROPTA-CNT course and exam.

    • All courses have 90 days to complete. That means, the exam must be submitted within 90 days to the PROPTA office.
    • PROPTA does take into consideration the time it takes to mail the written exam to our office. No Penalty assessed.

How is the exam administered

     All exams are done on paper because inmates are not allowed to access the internet while in prison. So we send them the exam on paper. Inmate can write legibly or type the exam.

What happens after the exam is submitted?

     PROPTA staff will correct the exam within 7 days of receipt. PROPTA will issue a Conditional Certification considering the score is 90% or better.

The Certification will be sent directly to the inmate in prison.

What are the Conditions on issuing the Certification?

     Inmates may be expected to be released in the near future and PROPTA take this into consideration,

  • WHY?

     Because we feel that the time spent in Prison while certified is not constructive and the inmate is not working and earning money.

     So, upon release from Prison, inmate must contact PROPTA to submit his or her updated Government Drivers license so we at PROPTA can RE-ISSUE a newly updated with a new date, giving the inmate a new start with a new updated dated PROPTA Certification.

     Remember that all the Certifications are only valid for 2 years, and since the inmate is in prison, partial time of the 2 years is not used constructively to earn money. So the New Updated Certification will add value and time to start a new life after prison.

What are the prerequisites for Inmate PROPTA courses?

    • One must have a GED or High School Diploma.
    • One must be committed to spend the time and effort to study and pass the exam.

What Happens after the Inmate is released from Prison?

Nutrition Tech Certification Course “CNT”

  • Nutrition Certificate course objectives:This course provides students in-depth knowledge in the topics listed below.
  • Nutrition and digestion Exercise makes the body look young because of the stress demands that always breaks tissue during muscle exertion. The body is always repairing itself. The correct intake of protein, vitamins, minerals, fat, and carbohydrates assists the body to repair and thrive.
  • Timing and quality vs quantity Everyone in the personal trainer industry establishes a dietary program for their client based on caloric count. It is important to consider the proper breakdown of calories into carbohydrates, protein and fats. An additional aspect to consider is the when of eating.
  • Proper Eating A balanced diet affects your client’s energy, strength, mood and overall health and well-being. Students that complete the Nutrition Certificate course will have an understanding of the daily dietary requirements for people of all age groups.
  • Athletic performance Athletic performance and recovery from training are enhanced by attention to nutrient intake. Nutrition can help enhance athletic performance. Eating a good diet can help provide the energy you need to finish a race, or just enjoy a casual sport or activity. You are more likely to be tired and perform poorly during sports when you do not get enough:
  • Calories Counting calories would appear to be the most logical approach to determining the amount of food a person should eat. Unfortunately, calorie counting is not only taken too far, it is applied to the exclusion of all other benchmarks to establish a proper nutritional program. The PROPTA Nutrition Certificate course teaches all aspects of proper daily caloric intake.
  • Carbohydrates Do you know the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates? Can you explain this to your student’s and advise them on which foods to avoid to achieve their goals? Once you have attained your certificate from PROPTA you will be armed with the knowledge needed to feel confident in your ability to sit down and analyze which foods will help your student to lose weight and gain muscle mass. Fluids Water is the body’s largest single component. Proper hydration is vital to your health and peak performance. Water assists your body in numerous functions. Including cell function, metabolic reactions, the circulatory system, transporting nutrients, and so much more.
  • Iron, vitamins, and other minerals The proper levels of iron, vitamins and minerals are a key element to peak performance. Applying the principle taught in this course will assist you in determining what products may be missing in your client’s diet.
  • Protein Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women.
  • Hormones Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They help control practically every physiological process in your body including, metabolism, immune system, menstrual cycle and reproduction.
  • PH Levels The acidity or alkalinity of a substance is measured using PH. To survive, our bodies must maintain the pH very close to 7.4, which is just on the alkaline side of neutral. If your body’s pH varies too much from this ideal, it becomes difficult for various enzymes to function properly.

Upon completion of this course, a Nutrition Tech should:

    • Have a clear understanding about the digestive system and its functions.
    • Have an understanding of protein, carbohydrate and fat and how these nutrients are essential to a balanced and healthy life style.
    • Understand vitamins and minerals
