Personal Training Certs???

Hey everyone, This is my first time on here. I have a few quick questions, that hopefully someone can help me out with. I just got out of the Marines, and I'm thinking of becoming a personal trainer, but the schools, and certs are all over the place. Which ones are good certifications, and good schools??? In short, how do I get started working in this field?
Thanks,

Here are my top 5:
1.) ACSM - American College of Sports Medicine
2.) NSCA - National Strength & Conditioning Association
3.) NASM - National Academy of Sports Medicine
4.) ACE - Amercian Council on Exercise
5.) ISSA - International Sports Science Association
 
This one is an old post but answer may help others. Nasm is one of the best training for pros. Entering in field or in gym is easier with NASM certificate. reason for this is, its tough but If you want you pass the exam try to go for question again and again until you remember them. You can find lot of helpful material at
