There are additional CE's in that via NASM and ACE at least that I know of.

The mental aspect would be huge for a certification. I mean, probably 99% of personal trainers would find it hard to relate to someone who's over 100lbs. overweight.
It is interesting that, (may due to location: San Francisco) that I see very few obese clients working with personal trainers when I know they're out there and they need the help the most.
