National certification
There are two kinds of fitness instructor certificates issued in China: national vocational qualification certificate for fitness instructors and national vocational certification for fitness personnel. They are all issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China, and they are all graded. The national vocational qualification certificate of fitness instructor is a certificate with high authority and recognition.
International certificate
There are five kinds of international certificates, including ACE, NSCA, AFIA, ACSM and NASM. At present, there are relatively few fitness instructors with international certificates, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the authority is unknown.
Trade association certificate
There are many bodybuilding industry associations in China. These large and small fitness industry associations do not belong to domestic organs, but belong to non-governmental organizations, and the certificates issued are not high in gold content. At present, China has issued a policy to gradually cancel the certificates issued by various industry associations, and the certificates of various fitness industry associations are among them.
University certificate
The certificate issued by the fitness instructor training college is stamped with the seal of the college. The gold content of this kind of certificate depends entirely on the popularity and reputation of the training institution. These certificates are still very numerous in China, and each fitness college has its own certificate.
