NASM offers two advanced certs on their site:

Performance Enhancement Specialist

http://www.nasm.org/pes.aspx

Corrective Exercise Specialist

http://www.nasm.org/specializa tion/default.aspx?id=292

Has anyone taken either course?

I am planning to do one by the end of the year. Problem is, I didn't get my CPT from NASM, which they list as a prerequisite (along with a college degree). When I apply to take it, I will hold the following credentials:

ACSM, NSCA CPT
ISSA SPN
ACE GFI

I am hoping they will let me take those courses with my credentials, and not force me to do their CPT first. I don't have a degree, and I don't really see the point of getting 3 different CPT certs. Too expensive, for one thing.

So, for anyone who knows about these, can you comment? Thanks
