Where should I get my personal training certification?

by Michael Lee

The University of South Florida gives an online system for personal education and it is $ 259 per course (5 course to become certified) Cannot I just order study materials and take the certification exam on my own and it be cheaper? Does any person know if there are any differences in the two certificates? They appear the very same to me but carrying out it on my personal would be WAY less expensive. Thanks for any assistance in this matter.

    I would stay away from the online certifications because most of them aren’t accredited. Look into the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). The are the most recognized certifications available. If you are looking to work at a gym then just having one or both of these, you can almost guarantee getting hired. Both of them offer home study courses and you go to a testing site to take the certification exam. They also offer workshops that you can attend to prepare for the exam.

    My first certification was from ACSM and I got job offers from 4 different gyms without even having hands-on experience. As far as picking which gym to work at, don’t take the first offer that comes around. If you have anymore questions, feel free to drop me a line. Good luck!
