Attention AFAA or ACE certified instructors

[[email protected]]

Hello to any certified workout instructors!

I am not looking for the easy way out by any means here. I am just a very poor test taker. Please do not get the wrong idea!

If you are AFAA or ACE certified, do you know which exam is easier to take?

I know that this may come off as me being lazy. Please know that I am certainly not.

I have test anxiety (like many other people do), and I really would like to avoid some of this if I could.

THANK YOU very much for your time, and any advice would be great. I was really thinking of going with AFAA because one of my best friends who teaches pilates and yoga went through AFAA for some courses. She loved it. I also purchased the study materials for the Primary Group Certification and Step Training. I look forward to all of this!

Thanks!

Hi -

I'm AFAA certified for both the group instructor certification and personal trainer certification. I've always "heard" that AFAA is easier than ACE. Multiple choice terrifies me, but I did okay on both of these exams. Another huge KEY player is the presenter of the workshop (if you're taking a workshop weekend for the test) -- They usually highlight what's important for the written and practical exams.

As far as the practical part of the exam, make sure you practice practice practice beforehand. Find an instructor you love and emulate him/her. Be yourself, relax, ask questions to the presenter -- You'll do great!

Hi Caroline!

THANK YOU so very very much for your tips and advice.

I am going to go with AFAA.


I cannot wait to start. My summer goal is to fill out all of the study guide information, and then study study study!

I will take the course in the fall.


THANKS AGAIN!
