Question I am interested in becoming certified for a number of different classes; Kickboxing, Step, Dance Aerobics, etc. However I am having trouble finding information on becoming certified. All I find are on-line or distance certification. Is there something in particular I should be looking for?
I live in West Palm Beach, FL.
Please advise.
Answer Good question.
Certification is a process that tests your knowledge and ability to conduct various types of exercise programs. Do you already have experience and training in the classes that you listed? Or are you looking to be trained in those kind of programs?
ACE and AFAA offer the most certifications nationwide, and they usually offer some in the Miami area a few times a year.
Glad you're interested in teaching. We need more like you.
