Get certified

Experience is important but getting the appropriate certifications for
personal training professionalises your service and helps you to stay
current in the field. There are many certification bodies, but most are
based overseas and on other contexts. The Singapore Sports Council,
together with the National Institute of Education provides certification
programmes for personal training. Getting a diploma or degree in
exercise science or physical education together with a personal training
certification will increase your confidence and help to bolster
competence in knowledge and practice. Mainly clients are well-educated
and would wish to work with trainers who are equivalent in intellect and
with excellent people-skills.
