i'm not a certified trainer although i do train friends. But I think if you have a ISSA certification, that should be adequate in many countries.

ISSA? alright thanks so much.. that's exactly what I needed to know :]

I have been through all the education with issa but didn't finish as I moved right before I finished and didn't get the internet until about a month ago (7 months after we moved). I liked them a lot and I am going to talk to them about starting where I left off rather than starting over. Good luck on whatever you decide, helping people with their weight issues is a passion of mine. Its just such a great feeling!

the 2 most highly ranked certifications are the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association

Yes, ACSM, NSCA, and also NASM are all very good ones. Those are definitely the top.

The next level down would be ACE or AFAA. Those are still well recognized, but are easier tests, and are generally less expensive.
