In the US you have to have graduated highschool. Become CPR certified. And then become personal trainer certified. Depending on what certification company you choose the time varies. Most of the time it take 6months. There is one certification that you have to spend a couple of years in college before you are able to get certified. But out of all the hundreds of certifications , its only that 1. To be honest I only know a handful of people from Canada. I'm sure it is slightly different there. In the US that highest accreditation body is NCCA/NOCA. any certification that has that to back it up is accepted here. I would recommend checking out IFPA. www.ifpa-fitness.com. They are international recognized around the world. I recommend them to everyone.
