Feedback on a course....

I didn't deem this worth of the training forum, although it is somewhat related.

I'm studying for my CPT right now, and discovered a personal training class being offered at a local community college. The instructor is a CSCS, so I think that bodes well. My question is, has anyone taken anything similar to this course, and if so, what did you think. They say you take a certfication exam at the end, but I have never heard of the organization. So essentially I'd be taking it for the content, and taking another test. I just don't want to get into anything that is worthless. Just wanted to see if anyone has done anything similar and what you thought. Thanks in advance.

i think i'd be a little skeptical of this. the give away? their logo. two arms flexing?

by the way, what happened with going for the CSCS?

I'm still studying for that as well, I just haven't had the time to committ to studying for that quite yet. I am going to be making a career change this summer to allow me more time to study and go back to school, so I wanted to go ahead and get certified somehow.

The thing I liked about this is that it would force me to study about 6 hours a week (the class is on Sunday from 9am to 4pm). I think I might save the money and go to the library....
