I have a long term plan(long term being 3 years hopfully)of getting my associates degree for physical therapy assistant. Im currently unemployed, but have spent the last 7 years in the trucking/delivery business and have no desire to ever go back to it.
So, my plan is to take some courses that will go towards getting me accepted into the PTA program and hopefully will be going to school fulltime by this fall. However i still need a job that will be flexible enough to allow me to go to school fulltime.
The local tech school has a 6 week personal training cert. class i could take but im not sure how well rocognised the certification is. On the website for the school is says the following.....
Join this fun career and be a part of what ABCnews.com names the fourth hottest job in the United States, at a national average pay of $25 an hour.
Whether as a career move or for your own personal knowledge, get all the information you need to become a certified personal trainer. This program is offered in conjunction with World Instructor Training Schools, which offers one of the top four certifications for personal fitness training and is the number one certification for Bally Total Fitness.
This challenging course is taught over a five-week period. The national exam is the sixth week. Fifteen hours of hands-on practical training at the College’s Health Fitness Facility,
Lectures include anatomy, exercise physiology, nutrition and health screening. Proof of adult CPR & AED, and a 30-hour internship prepare you to work successfully in the fitness field.
W.I.T.S. is an approved CEU provider for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC), the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET) & Veterans training and education. The American Council on Education has recommended college credits for this course.
I deleted some info that wasnt important, like what building number etc. from the above that i cut and pasted from the website. So if anyone has any opinions or advise please send it my way. I live on the eastcoast in myrtle beach SC so i feel i could do pretty well as a Personal Trainer here. but if there is a better certification please let me know. Also this class costs $600.00.
