Are additional certifications valuable to a new entry in the industry?
I received my personal trainer certification through ACE a couple of months ago. I’ve been seeking employment but have found little in the way of openings. I was wondering if additional certifications in areas that interest me would be worthwhile. I was looking into Crossfit and Combine360. Does anyone have any input on those or other suggestions?
As I was going through school, my professor said that many of the potential employers she talked to were asking for group certified and personal trainer certified. The trainers I know who are group certified have gotten jobs much faster than those of us with just a CPT Cert. So you might want to look into the group certification.
Other than that, congrats on getting certified and good luck on the job front.
