What might I expect from a trainer who holds PES and CES certifications from NASM? I'm ACE-certified, have five years of experience in the industry, and have been in contact with Hartman and Cressey for about six months, so I'm somewhat informed on rehabiliation and postural issues. Am I likely to benefit from working with a PES and CES certified trainer?
NASM-PES trainers have passed the testing neccessary to design programs for the athletic community: speed, agility, advnaced flexibility/SMR, and periodization. If you find a trainer with both PES, CES--you basically have someone who can cover the prehabilitative and postural issues that may affect performance.

Is that what you are looking for?
Thanks for the response, John.
I was just wondering if the CES and PES-certified trainers offer anything that is unique to NASM. Is he likely to provide knowledge beyond that of a qualified PT? Specifically, I'm dealing with chronic biceps tendinosis and some intermittent lower-back pain due to a background in powerlifting.
Would working with this trainer be a good supplement to PT, or would you consider it unecessary in my situation?

Unlike the NASM-CPT, both those tests (CES, PES) are solely online and there's no proctored exam. They are open book, PDF, google, etc. too.
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?
