I'm looking at the online pathway to gain my cert in PT

Anyone have experience with this?

How long did the course take you?

Someone in my town had theirs done in six months..

I was going to start this As soon as the semester was over, it would give me a month and a half to complete the cert before my summer classes

Is this do-able?

Any suggestions?

My bro got his a couple years back.. a gym that wanted to hire him sent him to classes and what not.. it only took him a couple months.. it was probably just the basics though.

That's funny

I plan on running my own gym someday, I figured this would give me the experience I will need for the future.

Majoring in business so I'll have the right mindset going forward.

I don't see it as a job

But a way to better ones life, I train close friends and family and just the face they make whenever they hit that goal weight or whenever I tell them something and it works. Just makes me happy

This youtube video pretty much spells it out

You have six months to complete the course, you are basically the teacher. A LOT of dedication

Follow your dreams! Become greater then what you think you are capable of.

I had the exact experience but with dumbbells. I looked at the 140's and said one day I will get them! 3 years later.. boom 140 dumbbell bench for 3 reps! I was excited the whole day, nothing could have ruined my day lol
