    AFSA certified personal trainer

    I became an AFSA certified personal trainer today. I paid the 300 dollars after I passed the test. I am not sure how good this certification is mainly due to I took the test in 1 hour and passed it. It is not a nationally accredited exam therefore I am second guessing its credibility. I am registered to take my NSCA exam in a little over a month and figured this would be a good head start and some additional credentials for a resume. I would like to hear anyone else's thoughts on this! I think that knowledge is important but also personal experience is too for getting a personal training job.

    The ASFA wont land you a job, since all the answers can be googled and you can retake that test as many times until you pass.

    Yeah I was thinking that unfortunately. Oh well at least it is something which is better than nothing. Thanks for the input though. I cant wait to be NSCA certified I am definitely ready for it.

    At the end of the day, a certification is nothing more than a way to get insurance. Don't get me wrong there are more qualified institutions that offers you to be a decent enought CPT. But at the end of the days, getting experience and mentoring from another trainer is what you need to get.
