I think there's some personal trainer certifications.
Also, if you're going to get a CSCS, you'd probably be better of with a B.S. in exercise phyisology than a B.A.
sorry buddy, believe it or not if you want to be a real strength coach you have to do more than read t-nation...
go to school
Who the hell said anything about reading t-nation? I am in school and am looking for a cert so I can work part-time and get experiance in a related field. All you have to do is answer the question or don't reply. Don't make shit up like I read t-nation and I think I'm a trainer now.
Certs don't mean hardly anything in the long run. Alan Aragon, Robb Wolf, Tipton, Loui Simmons(invented WSB) Dave Tate, on and on and on. Schooling is needed for most, but nothing teaches more than experiance and time under the bar, running , etc
Westside Barbell now have a certification program. I think that one would be worth something.
