Which P.T. certification?

[Dobie-BOY]

I have to get a P.T. certification, and quick, from one of the following;
ACSM
ACE
IFPA
NASM
NCSF
NESTA
NETA
NFPT
NSCA
WITS

I need the cert. as soon as possible!! I don't have time to order and study any books. I am 10 hours away from completing a bachelors in health and fitness so I think I could pass any of the tests, but I can't take a chance of not passing the first time. So, does anyone have any experience with any of the above certs.? I just need to know which one of them is the easiest to get. I could really use any help here so thanks in advance.

From my experience, NASM and ACSM are the most recognized and the best to get.. It's not overnight, and may take you 6 months to complete.. The ones that are easier to obtain aren't recognized or accepted everywhere.. I have NASM myself

Ya, NASM is a really good one, but I cant get this job until I get one of the above certs. I have the knowledge and the education / to show it, but I gotta have one of the certs. above and I need this job bad.

I would take the time to get the better one in my opinion.. It will be more valuable in the long run.. If u just want one like asap, take a weekend course like wits or aaai or whatever it is.. Basic knowledge isn't gonna help you pass NASM or ACSM.. I think you would at least have to study a little bit

What? 6mo to get a PT certification? I hope there are a lot of other requirements first.
