NASM Payment program
by: Joe Bartovic

Nasm will do a monthly billing and break the cost in to 3 payments if that helps. You can also reduce the cost by dropping the live workshop and going to it when you have the money.

How's your credit? Charge it or go to the bank and take a personal loan. But be realistic and look to find where you are wasting your money, these are going to be the same reasons people are going to tell you when they say they can't afford to train with you.

But keep in mind the return on the investment of your education is going to be skills in a career that average earnings is $35,000 yr. most people go to college for 4 years to start at that rate and have school loans to repay.

Degree first
by: Anonymous

True but I would hire someone with a bachelors degree in exercise science, or kinesiology before someone who gets only a cpt. Most businesses are doing this.
