NASM vs NSCA Certification - Which one should you choose in 2023? 🤷‍♂️

[@Daniel-Llamas]

This video is straight forward and exactly what I was looking for, will be checking out your resources as I take the NSCA.

[@raymondmilton6686]

Interesting. I was told that the ncsa is more impressive for PT school. However, the NASM model sounds more all inclusive because the trainee makes an assessment. Whereas the NCSA is more about improving a person's performance who is healthy and in shape already.

[@tysonesquivel7996]

Not necessarily. A big portion of the NSCA exam content is clients with unique needs

[@tysonesquivel7996]

Maybe not so much exam content, but the content in the book that I studied was a lot of clients with unique needs

NSCA only has 2 certifications that do not require a college degree. The CPT and the Tactical (TSAC) certifications. None of the NASM certifications that I looked into required a degree.

[@JuliusTurner-hm6ff]

None of those certs matter. How you are as a trainer is what those gyms and clients are gonna look at. They're not gonna look at the bad trainer who has NASM over the good trainer who has ISSA.

[@thepakrathor2375]

Also suggest books for knowledge of bodybuilding

[@JuliusTurner-hm6ff]

You need to suggest just making learning personal training a lifestyle. I taking a couple of hrs out of your day, every single day to read even after getting certified. If not then personal training isn't for the individual. You have to have a love interest in fitness at least.
