Like I've been saying, I'm interested in becoming a PT. And I'm looking into the ACE certification for starters. I figure it will take atleast 6 months of hard studying, since I have very little background in the field already. I would just like to know what other's experiences and thoughts are on the exams, preperation time, difficulty, etc.
 
ACE isn't that hard of a test as long as you look at it every day, and if you understand the concepts, it shouldn't take that long to study for it, that's why a good chunk of personal trainers get that certification...
 
Firstly, I took the ACE exam in 2000 and it was fairly difficult. If you have no exercise science background and only learned all your fitness material thru Muscle & Fitness and FLex, you will have a hard time. Take from a manager who hires trainers depending on the exeperiecne, cert, and schooling. Its not an easy test...its very much a worthwhile exam and although not one of teh top certs, out there...it is still good enough "for you".
