I just received a job offer to work in the University of Chicago's athletic department!
(and no...I didn't get the job because my boyfriend is a scientist @ U of C!)
I was waiting for him to get off work one day and decided to see what jobs were available. There was an assistant personal training position and I decided to apply. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't think I'd get it.
I was just offered the position last week. I am 1 of only two personal trainers on campus.
I have to serve not just the students but also faculty,employees,etc.
So yes....having a personal training certification is a requirement...but I am sure without the degree I earned from Excelsior, they would have hired another personal trainer with a degree.
If U of C hired me with an Excelsior degree, it is legit!
