Answer by  patti (29325)

A college degree is not required for certification as a personal trainer. A college degree is kinesiology, exercise science or a related field broadens one's skills, knowledge and expertise, increases the value of his services and guidance, and makes him more credible.

A college degree is not mandatory in becoming a personal trainer. They may, however, give the student with the degree an advantage in career opportunity. A degree in exercise science is ideal for this career.
