That’s right, each program has its own pre-requisites, which you can find on the program pages. As a general guideline, in addition to the NASM CPT certification which requires a high school diploma, most specialty programs require a Bachelor’s degree, University, College, Coaching Degree from the General Secretariat of Sport or recognized equivalent certification on Personal Training, from an international organization.
All the companies and organizations we represent have been leaders in the education sector for the last 30 years. So all of these professional certifications have become prevalent in the marketplace as essentials or good to have. The word recognition has different meanings. So in America the CPT program is recognized by the relevant bodies in order to work legally, whereas in many other countries the labor market recognizes it and demands it but there is no law that recognizes it or enforces it.
Unlike in the US and some European countries, NASM certifications do not offer professional rights in Greece and Cyprus at this time. However, they are a necessary prerequisite in order to be able to work in most foreign countries or to stand out in the job market and make a difference.
