    Hey guys I've been looking around at a few courses and was thinking of starting this one on the 27th of July:

    http://www.ntc.ie/course.php?id=1239196549

    It looks pretty decent and states that after the 18 weeks you would be qualified to work as a fitness instructor/Personal Trainer is that true?

    I was just wondering if anyone else has done it before? Is it a course worth doing? Or are there better ones out there?

    Thanks.

    Although they say Qualifed Personal trainer, id say it qualifies you as a fitness instructor and with experience on the floor instructing and studying more over a few years you will become capable of Personal training if you make it your business to improve daily-most instructors rest on there laurels and never improve after they finish the course which should be just a base for starting.
