Personal Trainers are Teachers

I am concerned about this list in that many of these only determine the candidate's ability to take a test. How many require teaching skills? I believe that there are very few certifications/organizations that require a teaching component of any sort.

Why is this? Personal Training involves so many teaching techniques to properly identify, assess, and deliver a quality personal training experience? How many of these certifications include the philosophy and practical application of pedagogy whether it is one-to-one, small group, or large group instruction.

How can a test prove the worth of a teacher/trainer?
