Does anyone else have this certification? If so, what is your opinion on it and was it beneficial in getting you better pay as a personal trainer?
NSCA personal training certification...

It's a great cert, however unless you're attempting to work with pro athletes, or college athletics, you won't get a great benefit just working at a gym financially. It's better for organized training such as team trainer jobs and such. IMO Tough test, too. An anatomy class would be beneficial. Also physical therapy jobs.

Hey man. Funny you should ask about this as I was just inquiring about it the other day. The price for the test, books, & seminar is reasonable compared to others & they let you take the first retest for free if you sponge on the first try. Others charge every test. I'll be attending their 10/13/01 seminar in Cleveland. What are you thinking of doing?

I was referring to the Personal Trainer Certification program that they offer. I think you have to have a degree to take the NSCA test if I remember what I read correctly.

The anatomy class would be VERY beneficial. I breezed thru other cert tests, this one was a bitch, good thing I was warned, I would have found out why they offer that free retake.

Thanks for the responses guys. Hey gymnpoppa, if the NSCA is suited more for people trying to train team athletics then what would be better for someone wanting to work at a gym as a cert. trainer and eventually become an independent contractor?.....maybe the ACSM or the ACE or NASM? See, right now I'm getting ready to start classes on my CIW (certified Internet Webmaster) and I figured I could pick up some personal training certs as well. I would really like to work in both fields and I know I will probably need income from two jobs considering the fields I'm looking at. 'Cause I know there aren't a lot of rich personal trainers or rich CIW people out there. Thanks for the response man.
