What certifications do i need to become a PT? (noob) (reps)

[placrosse]

Want to move out of my house and dorm away but to do that i'm gonna need a good job (1st year college student going into my 2nd) I'm gonna enter the transformation contest in a few weeks to get my name out there and just spam fb and try to get clients but i need my certifications and what not

how do i get those
when i do get them do i just go to a gym and ask to be a PT there?

sorry i'm a noob on the whole subject lol

I would start by training everyone around you for free and get before/after pics for proof so when you do find a job at a gym you can say you have exp training people... so much more to be said but all the info can be found here http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=120445081

and this http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=110597151

that should answer your questions
