Im a certified personal trainer on the side, and i was wondering if that will at all benifit my application to a PT program?
The above post is not completely accurate. Here some clarification on the different certifications out there:
The NASM and NSCA are organizations that give certifications. They are NOT the certifications themselves. The CSCS is one of the certifications that you can get from the NSCA. (the other one being the CPT).
True. What I meant is a certification from one of those organizations (CSCS is definitely the most respected here, because it requires a BS degree, whereas the CPT is not nearly as respected, but still hire-able). NASM has a variety of certifications as well (including some similar to PT, I think there's a PES or something that deals with rehabiliation).
