Defenitly anything from NSCA (CPT or CSCS) are going to look the best IMO.

Consider Various PT Certifications
I have been researching what PT certification I would like to pursue. I have narrowed it down to 4: NSCA, ISSA, ACSM and NASM. I don't have a college degree, so any variants that require a degree, such as the NSCA-CSCS, are out for the time being.
Does anybody hold, or have you studied for more than one of these exams? I would like some sort of comparative information on them. I suppose marketability and content richness are my two main concerns. Cost matters too, but to a lesser extent.
As it stands now, the NSCA-CPT is looking like my prime option.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Yeah we did, about 3 months ago.
I would go NSCA or NASM. ACE is just as respected by gyms, but you will learn nowhere hear as much as you would from the other 2.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I found old threads in a search. However, I made my question a little more specific. I figured another one couldn't hurt; perhaps some others would chime in that were not involved in the previous thread.
By the way, thanks for your feedback. I do appreciate it.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
