	2006/10/01, 09:32 PM it's garbage... 1 day course, sit there for like 6-8 hours....the guy goes over the most basic things....then u take a test... there will be multiple choice questions and body diagram where you're to identify all the muscles....about the only half difficult part....u can either try to learn as many muscles on the spot or u can get a anatomy diagram and learn it prior.... but yea the certification is garbage....it's 100$ at some community colleges but it's not really recognized anywhere and it teaches u next to nothing.... I would go with NASM, ACE, or ISSA.....bit more reliable certs and are recognized more widely..

Try to stick with a program where you have the opportunity to advance in the field and one that is recognized as a credible certification to others in the industry. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
