Get ACE Certified

The idea of getting A.C.E. certified popped in my head a few months ago as a fleeting thought during a conversation with a friend of mine. Occasionally something reminds me that this is something I could probably do. Often while at the gym I see folks getting instruction by Personal Trainers and think “I could do that”. I’ve taken group exercise classes with instructors who, while they may know what they’re talking about, are terrible instructors (perhaps this is where my background in adult education could shine!). As much as I research Health & Fitness on a regular basis, I probably already know half the material. So, why not go for it?! perhaps the $150 for the class and $150 for the test, maybe? eek

Now, what to do with an ACE certification, I don’t know. The official ACE certificates are in the following areas:
- Personal Trainer
- Advanced Health + Fitness Specialist
- Lifestyle + Weight Management Consultant
- Group Fitness Instructor
- IAFF + IAFC Peer Fitness Trainer

I could probably do all but the last one, since I have no idea what that is. Must do more research.

I can not get the ITA voucher because for what I want they require you to have a degree. I have given up on the ITA voucher but not this goal. When I get this job next month I will start a fund for my certs. Aside from that I am not sure how Adobe will structure the certifications from here on since they’ve acquire Macromedia.

I have finally gotten back on the path to my ACE certification. I have my appointment for the second part of the process for the ITA voucher.

I have to find funding for my next two certs.
