Looks terrible and you'd probably still need a reps level 3 to compliment it

Ohh really that does not sound good

Look its simple really, find the cheapest quickest course you can do that will allow you to get a reps level 3 and then be insured. Then spend your time educating yourself with the money you would of spent on courses.

Now that i'm involved in "the industry", I semi-agree.

The Leisure Industry Academy Dublin course I tutor PTs on has an L4 REPS accreditation of course, but it also includes 2+ hours dedicated sessions each of basic squat, bench and DL tekkers And how to teach and correct them. An introduction to the functional movement screen from an FMS certified trainer. Kettlebell intro from an actual RKC tutor and various other suspension training and practical workshops.

What I'm getting at is that since all courses are around the same price anyway, identifying the right one to get on becomes worthwhile.

The biggest problem I see is that no matter how much good quality info you give students, becoming a truly competent trainer takes a long long time. I'm glad I get to start people on the right road tho

Sounds good. The course I done was a correspondence course with no practical instruction. It took less then 15mins to do the exams which had a 6 hour limit for all papers. When I asked the person moderating it if anyone ever too the full six she told me sometimes they have to give people extensions:pac: If the course I done was someones only base of knowledge I'd run from them and anyone who knows me knows I don't run.

Also I sh!t you not there was more info in the manual on not fiddling kids then there was exercise instruction.

Do whatever course is fastest and cheapest to get qualified, then study the following books

Supertraining, Mel Siff

Science and Practice of Strength Training Vladimir Zatsiorski (sp?)

Strength training anatomy, Delavier

Every book my Lyle Mcdonald

As much sales and marketing books as you can digest.

Then read all the articles listed here and use them for starting points for more research:
