ISSA is good. I think the point that Lisa is trying to make is that for career CPTs who want to write/educate/etc, the CSCS credential is pretty much the gold standard. Adam Campbell and Lou Schuler (current and former editors of Men's Health) have both written about it, and that is just about standard if you want to be published with a major mag.
Just to get a cert that provides good information and education to its trainers though, ISSA is good, and you won't be screwing over your clients to have it.
