ACE follows all of ACSM's guidelines. Everything you learn is based on ACSM. The difference is ACSM used to require degrees before taking their exams. That ruled a lot of people out. Their instruction, from what I understand, is also considerably more in depth regarding the biology (kreb cycle, ATP, etc). Some choose not to want to go that far. However, now, the ACSM PT exam does not require a degree. I have the ACE certification but plan to persue the ACSM one as well.

I'd love to hear opinions from those of you who have the ACE cert. When
I was looking into it there were several things I heard that made me
choose ACSM. First I searched a bunch of job listings, ACSM and NASM
were the top two required. Couple friends in the business recommended
ACSM. And The general impression I got was that ACSM and NASM were the
two that dealt more with the science behind why and how you train people
rather then just a boiler plate "do this".

My 2 cents.

C!

Hello,

I'm looking into getting a personal trainer certification and I would
like to know if I should chose A.C.E over the other ones (like ISSA,
ACSM or NSCA)?

Thank you for your opinion and advices
