      to the best of my knowledge, you can’t recieve financial aid for PT. It is a certificate and therefore is not recognized as a degree course. However, if you do recieve your cert in PT, you can then look into a degree in kineseology. Check it out at your local college.

      ACSM sucks. Everyone says its the best, but it’s over-intellectualized textbooks are impractical and also do not prepare you for their test, nor for working. ISSA > ACSM.
