In one of my earlier posts I said that I am going to school to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am taking online classes through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). I am loving it so far! I bought the premium package and it included all the study materials plus a CEC math class, an online syllabus, and even videos/lectures that I can view online. It also came with a re-take exam voucher just in case I don't pass the first time.
I am on lesson 10 now. I am going over Chapter 7 in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and have already completed the Exercise Science portion. I am doing about one lesson a week. I take my quiz for the lesson on Friday and then on the weekends I review all of the Exercise Science book and Personal Trainer Manual. You can do it at your own pace but if I don't structure the lessons for myself I will probably fall behind.
The schedule I have set up works pretty well for me but it took me longer than a week to go through a lesson when I was doing Exercise Science. It took me about three weeks for me to get through Anatomy and that was the hardest portion for me. The easiest portion for me from Exercise Science was Exercise Physiology.
The reason why I love ACE so much is that you can do it at your own pace. So if I want to take longer than a week I can. They also have study assistance. You can call, email, or go to the study center on Facebook. I like going to the Facebook study center because other people might be asking questions that I haven't thought of to ask. There is also a private Facebook group where everyone helps each other study and motivates each other. To get to the Facebook group click here.

That is my review of ACE so far. I will post again as I get further along in my lessons.
