I have a few friends who are PT's and you won't get taken on without qualifications (unless you did it privately obviously or through the net) but once you have them apparently its quite easy |

Well ive been looking to do a course like this to and been reading the thread with interest, so this morning ive looked around and seems like the best qualification is the YMCA one which is the most reconised. One company charges £1,995 to obtain the qualification and another charged only £475.00 + £250 to obtain the qualification with support for 12 months. So i brought the course and looking to give at least 20 hours a week to it and have it finnished in 6 months. Link from where i brought my course from is below.
