Best Online Personal Training Certification

by Ryan
(Florida)

I am currently a firefighter/paramedic in Florida. I enjoy my job and want to do something on the side that I will also enjoy and find rewarding. My degree is in Physical Education and I have many years of experience with strength and conditioning programs, both as a athlete, student and a coach.

To get to my questions:

-What certification (preferably online) would you suggest for someone who has a good foundation of knowledge and is willing to read, read, read to get up to par? Money is an issue, however I would like to have a respectable cert.

-Are you required to have certain certsifications to train certain groups (children, elderly, disabled, prenatal, etc) or is it just suggested? Is it a liability thing?

Thank you very much for any feedback.
