    HI Guys

    need your advice

    currently working in a field which has nothing to do whatsoever with personal training but always wanted to do Personal Training

    what is the course you guys would recommend that would allow me to travel with my job for personal training?Particularly Ireland,Australia and USA

    Also is there much work in this out there?

    What is the cost of the course?are there evening courses?

    Would really appreciate your help on this huge career change for me:)

    If you do a search on the forum you'll find loads of info - search on NTC/NCEF and 'personal trainer', etc.

    As far as I am aware the NTC qualification is recognised throughout Europe, and maybe internationally - although in the US I think you may need US-recognised qualifications, e.g. NSCA or NASM.

    Also worth noting that being a PT has as much to do with having great business acumen as it does with being able to instruct and motivate.

    NSCA-CPT is probably the one to go for.
