Default Certification overload

Greetings from Singapore. I am new to this thread and have welcomed the info I have read on it so far. My question is re: certification. I am a licensed Physical Therapist currently residing in Singapore. I am currently not working (stay at home mom with 4 kids) and looking to diversify my skills. I have a degree in both physical therapy and athletic training but my athletic training certification is far expired. I would like to open opportunities to work with both kids and adults in all areas of health and fitness and possibly within the school setting. I am looking at possibly CSCS as well either HFI or ACE AFS and possibly youth/child. Any recommendations would be very much welcomed.

Singapore requires no certification. With your qualifications you wont have a problem. However if you are looking for more education then that's another story.

Best would be to take a live course rather than a online or distance learning course. The SCC courses are a waste of time so don't even bother with them.

I have a lot of contacts in Singapore - any idea where you want to set up? What area?
