ACE Practical Training
The ACE Practical Training program for Personal Trainers provides the
basic hands-on skills you need to train one-on-one with a client. The ACE
Practical Training program is specifically designed for a newly certified
professional needing assistance designing and implementing a safe and
effective program for their clients, or for individuals with a strong
academic or knowledge base of personal training but lacking the hands-on
skills necessary for a successful career in fitness. The ACE Practical
Training program also allows currently ACE certified professionals a great
way to earn all 1.5 CEC's necessary to maintain their ACE certification.
The comprehensive 15-hour course covers the following five critical topic

history screening and appropriately conduct exercise assessment tests,
collecting valuable information that can identify areas of possible health

effective program for an apparently healthy adult and increase the chance
of exercise compliance.
