Re: certifie


Hi,

The certification debate is always entertaining.

Remember:

(1) A certification is a minimal level of competences.

(2) For those that have gone to university, we all know of people that are
book smart and train well for an exam but are poor at working with people
and applying knowledge.

Just my two cents.

A question for the group, how many of you have had a client refuse to work
with you because you did not have specific personal training certification
from a specific organization? (i.e. I don’t want to train with you
because you do not have an ACE CPT certification and I don’t believe in
NASM CPT Certification!)
