Interesting points John, thanks. I've been thinking of writing the NSCA-CPT exam after writing the Can-Fit-Pro PTS (I guess this would be considered the Canadian "entry level" cert), but you've given me something to think about.
I don't have any suggestions for you jackson as I've never written the NSCA-CPT, but one thing I will say is that taking physiology, exercise physiology, anatomy and applied anatomy in college was the best thing I could have done to develop a general base of knowledge. They were pretty basic courses, but it's still a huge step above trying to teach yourself.
That's just my opinion, it might not be shared by everyone.
