I heard that there are UKK certificates among fitness instructors. I want to be a personal trainer. Is it suitable? Any other certificates?

There are many international and domestic private education certification systems, but there are not many authoritative ones. Internationally, the certifications issued by academic institutions such as ACSM and UKK, and the certifications issued by standardization institutions such as ACSM and ACE are widely recognized, but some of them are completely divorced from the scientific research foundation and only rely on certain popularity and competition certifications, and their development prospects are relatively poor. The most influential ones in China are the national vocational qualification certificate and CBBA. Many training institutions are still using their certification, mainly relying on their national influence, and their scientific research foundation is relatively weak, but they are also making continuous progress. However, some commercial organizations, on the one hand, provide training services, on the other hand, provide certification services, which obviously runs counter to the basic certification attempt.

As a personal trainer, you can get different levels of personal education certification according to your own needs and provide endorsements for your own level. But what kind of private education certification to choose is worth considering. Let's take UKK as an example to analyze what elements an international certification should have to have enough living space.

First, a scientific evaluation system.

An excellent private education certification must have a scientific evaluation system. Any authentication system with the same examination questions has no development value, because it can't guarantee that the level passed by Certification staff really meets the established requirements.

Second, an independent operating system.

Scientific private education certification institutions will definitely not engage in training business. They may offer some continuing education courses, but their institutions themselves do not provide certified training. This kind of training is usually done by a third party. For example, GRE certification, New Oriental provides GRE exam training, but it does not require GRE recognition.

Third, the ability to provide courses continuously.

A scientific private education certification must provide continuing education courses for certified students. Because private education is different from English training and mathematics training, private education, as a skill, is updated very quickly, and new training methods, new training equipment and even new training concepts emerge one after another. A good personal trainer certification system must be able to provide courses that keep pace with the times in order to have enough room for growth.
