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

Agreed.
I recently started working part time at a gym that requires it's trainers to get the NASM-CPT, CES, and PES. I have the CPT, and had obtained the materials for the CES and PES. I was talking to one of the training managers about skipping their required training classes, studying the material myself and taking the test. His response was that they liked to have hands-on teaching of the concepts and then to "lead" the trainer through the testing, sitting there with them and helping them. I was like, WTF?
