Question
Hello.  I am in a 9 month program at a technical school to become a PFT.  When I signed up, I thought I would be learning also how to teach aerobics classes.   I am extremely distraught to find out that my 16,000 tuition does not cover aerobics training, and no one has answers on where I can go to get certified and learn how to teach classes.  I was wondering if anyone knows of any secrets or places on how I go about getting my aerobics certification.   I search online day in and day out with no luck on what to do.  Thanks for your help!

Answer
