I am qualified as a personal trainer back in Ireland (NCEHS). The course was intense, over 5 months and classroom based. It was great from the practical point of view as they were so particular on technique, safety and also strong on the theory. I work in finance, though training is my first love. I might be spending more time in the USA with work in the future and am considering backing up my qualification with a USA based one as I am was approached about being involved in opening a gym while here. I would be more involved in the business side than hands on personal training.

I originally thought of doing ACE as a few friends at home did this course and advised it as a good choice. I went ahead and ordered the materials for study. Now from looking at these posts I am wondering should I be doing ISSA? Bearing in mind I wouldn't be a hands on trainer would ACE still be ok or should I do ISSA?

Advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks
