Complete the NSCA's Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist course. It can be done is Ireland - the last exams were held in Galway I think.

Edit - this has recently become the standard qualification in Ireland for anyone who wants to go one to work with high level athletes (as a strength and conditioner). May not be what you want to do long term, but it should add some weight to this course over the other ones out there.

According to Vern Gambetta, don't be a personal trainer for a start:D
