    Best Certification

    I am currently a college student working towards a degree in exercise science. I am wondering what personal training certification you would recomend? I have been looking at NSCA-CPT or NCSF-CPT. I like NCSF-CPT better, but I am not sure there are as many opportunites with it. Thanks for the help.

    NSCA and ACSM are at the top of the food chain. others that are respectable are ACE, ISSA and NASM.

    NSCA-CSCS if you want a job working with athletes, otherwise, as 13ig13ad posted.

    13ig13ad...When can we expect some more pics.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    Yeppers. I'm going with the NSCA-CPT for now, and will shoot for the CSCS when I have a 4 year degree (That's a prerequisite).
