I think this stupid. I mean it MIGHT give them an emphasis in injury prevention or treatment but they still might play out a lot of gym fallacies. Additionally, the good trainers are the ones that continure learn after they get certified. Anyone can get ace certified but if you read up some classic books, a some online sources, and tried to get extra certifications that would help you be a better trainer (ie ART, oly certificcation, etc.) youd be really badass as you apply this new knowledge. Im not expecting this major to cover any of that.
I mean really, the last thing we need is a dumbass trainer who knows how to market his crap
