Would working with this trainer be a good supplement to PT, or would you consider it unecessary in my situation?

Thanks again.

Unlike the NASM-CPT, both those tests (CES, PES) are solely online and there's no proctored exam. They are open book, PDF, google, etc. too.

I thought they both had some good info but I see them more as CEUs than credentials...
