[kingdong]

It's not a degree; it's a certification and the certification is a mere foot in the door. Most of them are crap and you don't learn much from them.

 

[kingdong]

There are different certifications. Do you have a budget?

Everyone has some type of a budget but my job is a decent one.

EDIT: Oh, and theyll pt up 5000$ for it too!

AAPTE,,, offers "classes" and hands on training if there is something in your area

First learn how to spell "degree".

Sorry if I sounded like an ass.

I would check out a community college or something like that. Learning online just isn't the same as real world.

It depends on what sort of gym he plans to work at. Any of the major chains have their own general guidelines as to what you are supposed to do anyhow, so what you learn in getting the certificate isn't all used.

I don't know much about it. I just prefer to learn in person and in the real world. Learn by doing- know what I'm saying?

Alot of personal training certs are a joke. This is the reason why you see sooooo many bad trainers. I wish they held higher standards because it's like a noob coming on here recommending roids to someone. In Canada the only people I feel are legit are CSEP certified, you need a bachelors degree in a related field and lots of experience.
