There is a great deal of smoke and mirrors involving personal trainer certification.

At the community college of Baltimore County here in Maryland they offer a personal trainer certification course.
It is an accredited recognize  certification.

> The name escapes me… it is a one day course and you take the test at the end of the day.
I encourage anyone who is seeking personal trainer certification to investigate courses like this.
I believe the book that I had to read was the NCSAEA book to take the course

> Jody made a very good point which I wasn?t even thinking about when I broke my previous reply there are several different certifications some excellent some not as respected some are much more, dating then others I found when I was researching which certification to get that ace was the most receptive and familiar with dealing with blind clients a lot depends on which certification your friend is preparing for but ace would be the most accommodating based on my experience
