How should i get Certified

[scrace]

So my parents have decided they will pay for me to get certified, how should i do it? I've seen all the online stuff and study material is that the best way to go ? Or can i find a place to take a course at? (I live in Santa Barbara, if you know of a place close)

Thanks

decide on a cert, go to their website. Options are either just do self study with books,dvd, practice exams...or go to a "boot camp" type thing. Maybe self study until u r confident, then do a boot camp a week b4 u test

If your parents are paying, do the NSCA-CPT test in Vegas this July - good excuse to go out there and it'll probably be a tax write-off -
