NSCA-CPT and CSCS

Ace and ISSA are good ... You should probably call gyms in your local area and ask what they like their trainers to have.. It varys ..... Some places except trainers that have certification from a home school course like Nesta.....

Im certifiied with Ace right now. the NSCA is by far the best pretty expensive and only around 30% of people who take their tests pass the first time.

Yeah very true, they will not give you your cert until you graduate though. Unless they changed it, but the CSCS is far better than just the basic CPT.
