Where is the best place to go to get certified. Any schools that are noted for there astounding ability to make personal trainers?
NSCA CSCS certification is the the most well known and respected. Any school offering a bachelors degree in a decent kinesiology program should be fine. I’m sure you would have to study quite a bit outside of what you learned in school though.
You can assume guys with CSCS aren’t idiots, but most still aren’t worth paying money for. The PICP (Poliquin) certification, on the other hand, is much more valuable in my opinion.

Overseas. Better learn german or russian to get the most out of it.
Can’t go wrong with CP’s PICP. The experience alone is worth it.
A CSCS is only if you’re interested in recognition, but not really worth it IMO
