National Health Educators Certification

[Jennsfitness]

I am thankful for this forum because there isn't a lot of information online about national health educators. I've researched all of the top "well-known" certification programs and I have found the NHE program to be very good. I'm still looking for some additional information about their clinical exercise program but can't find much more than praise and admiration. If I can talk to someone who actualy took the program, I would really appreciate that.

I don't know much about the their clinical program but I'm sure it's very good because that is their true area of expertise. I think they have one of the best programs at ESU.

What is the deal with clinical exercise? Do you work in a hospital or rehab center or what?

 

[Jennsfitness]

I work in a wellness clinic, where we see all sorts of different types of patients. We do electrocardiograms, ergometry, VGEAs and a variety of other procedures and protocols to help patients optain mobility, strength and rehab injuries. It's a fun job, except sometimes it get's tiresome dealing with the older patients. Personal training is a good way to stay mainstream and deal with people who don't have physical limitations.

hey all


i took the PT exam for NHE....how long does it take to get results back?

 

[Jennsfitness]

Supposedly three weeks. If you got the study guide (which is totally awesome!) you will be able to take the exam for free, three times, if you fail it.

[needtogetaas]

means nothing. 99% of all trainers are dumb asses and have no clue.

 

[msstreisand]

Let me guess.... the one percent that knows it all is you?

That's quite a statement.

I've never been so busy; I'm busier than ever. I don't think think dropping prices is a good idea. Try to do more groups instead; you charge less per person, but you end up making more. Also, have a website where you can sell products like an affiliate programe ( free to join and operate). Go to schools, churches, gyms, health clubs to teach classes to get more income. In the last few months, I've increased my prices not lowered them. Try inexpensive marketing like www.personaltrainermatch.com

So how did it end up going? Did you pass? Have you heard anything back from NHE?
