    Hi all,
    I'm getting redundancy from my job soon after 8 years and am looking to go into something to do with fitness instruction/personal training but am unsure which course to do. Is there a governing body for fitness instruction in the country or which of these courses would be the best to do?

    This diploma - http://www.schoolofsport.com/_mgxroot/page_10749.html

    or this cert - http://www.ncefinfo.com/

    Both are similarly priced, but I'm kinda edging towards the first one because they reckon its the most comprehensive weight training course in the country

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :D

    I'm sorry, but that website is practically unuseable.

    Very curious about this myself, would love to know how people who have done these courses get on afterwards.

    Yeah, noticed that myself, it works sometimes, you'd think they'd want to encourage people to sign up for their course by at least having their website working. The site that personaltrainer posted seems a better bet. Unfortunately all these courses have started already so it'll have to wait till after Christmas or even till next summer.
