ExpertRating Personal Trainer Certification

by Esmeralda Gil

I am interested in the ExpertRating online Personal Trainer Certification. Their web site says that ExpertRating is an independent ISO 9001-2000 certified skills testing provider (from TUV, America). ExpertRating is not affiliated or accredited to any organization, as it is already an ISO certified organization with well laid down norms for skills assessment and course design.

Please give me your opinion, Should I purchase the Expert Rating Personal Trainer Certification?

$49 certification - you get what you pay for?
by: Katie - Admin

You will get a lovely certificate and access to some web site study material for your $49 investment in the expertrating personal trainer certification. But you won't get sufficiently educated and you certainly won't be prepared to be a personal trainer.

Their quoting of ISO 9001 certification is a joke. ISO is not a measure of quality but a measure of how well an organization has documented operational procedures. Some of the worst companies in the world are ISO certified because they documented their procedures.

I would steer clear of this one. Did you really think you can have a whole new career for $49?

I got the ExpertRating Certification in Personal Training
by: Anonymous

The first certification I did was the ExpertRating certification online for like 50 bucks to get started. I know that's kinda lame, but it gave me a starting point. I was able to get into a small gym and have a couple people that actually paid me for some advice and help. The next cert I went after was the SCS (Sports Conditioning Specialist) personal trainer certification from NSCA. It helped me target a specific type of client. This was important since I felt more comfortable working with clients that were interested in the same area I was studying.

Yes to ExpertRating

EXPERTRATING IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH AN ACCREDITED FITNESS ORGANIZATION, BUT WHAT THEY DO IS GIVE YOU THE BASICS SO THAT YOU CAN BECOME CERTIFIED. WHAT I DID WAS I STUDIED ALL ABOUT FITNESS, A&P, EVERYTHING THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEED TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER, THEN I GOT CERTIFIED THROUGH EXPERTRATING. YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT YOU DO IS WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD TRAINER, NOT YOUR CERTIFICATION. IF YOU DEPEND ON YOUR CERT ALONE, I DON'T THINK THAT YOU WOULD SUCCEED. DEPEND ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE. LEARN ALL YOU CAN.

If money is not a factor, you should for ISSA PFT.

However, if u decide to go the fast, cheap & easy way, i would prefer you to pay extra $20 and go for AMFPT cert. At least a cert fm "Muscle & Fitness" sounds more convincing to a layman then one from Expert Ratings. :)

Oh ya, and for a price of $99.99, u can have both PT & MASTER TRAINER Cert on AMFPT. :)

Hi,

I just posted recommending ExpertRating for the price. If you are keen on getting going with all the essentials, this choice is not bad at all. I have been certified through them for a couple of years and all seems fine to me.

I don't agree with people who think you have to buy a costly certification, I have been through the ExpertRating course. I agree it is quite basic, but it covers almost everything that is required to get going, and I know tons of guys out there who have started off with ExpertRating or AMFPT and have gone on to make great careers. It is a good way to get a foot in the door, and then move on to costlier and better certifications once you know you can pay for them.

I just saw their testimonial page before writing these comments, and you can clearly see that people have made the most of their $49 investment, even if others find it a joke.

It worked for me
by: Joh Hansen

I took the ExpertRating Personal Trainer Certification about two years back. The curriculum was quite standard, just sufficient to get going and understanding various exercises & concepts. I am ok with my choice because I did get hired by a local gym (it isn't a big name), but at least I have been working since two years. I guess I would recommend ExpertRating, given the price and fact that other certifications offer similar stuff at a much higher price.

Expert rating company claims to be bbb acredited, but I called the bbb and they say they haven't heard of them. Are they legit?

I got it too
by: Anonymous

i got this to get my foot in the door at my local golds gym. they suggested this, if it had been any other gym, i would've thought, yeah right. maybe this is al my state requires, i've also heard they recently had someone training with no cert. odd as it sounds it is all true, i passed the first time without studying,. i was really surprised. i am going to get a more recognized cert. from my local college, and i figured this will get me working in the field while i acquire the beter certs. i need!
