I am looking into PT certs and it is a toss up between ACE and ISSA. Anyone have any opinion on the two? Thanks
Another thing to consider is, are there specific places that you’d like to work? If so, what certifications do those potential employers value?
ACE is a great cert. I don’t have ISSA, but I’ve never had trouble getting a job with my ACE personal training cert.
The training model I find to be the most elegant of all is NASM. I’ve read their book cover to cover and appreciate their OPT model.
Hi Clint,
I want to make another pitch for NASM. One of the things I like about them is that they have several specialty certifications that all integrate into their OPT model and form one coherent entity.
