    Hi All,

    Can anyone please help me I've just finished a personal trainer course over the last year, only to find out that it is only accredited by the college itself. I have since looked a distance learning ITEC courses with Irishtraining.ie which look good until I read a few posts on borads.ie which said that these are also not probably accredited. I want to do a recognised diploma (preferable online) which I can use to go on to do a degree course. Any honest idea's please?

    Thanks,
    Gary.:)

    Moved to the Fitness forum. Mods, I wasn't sure if this or one of the Education forums would be the best place to get an answer to this but I chose here. Feel free to move it if it's the wrong call.
