i'm not in england but a sports and exercise qual is way better than a PT one...most good places will look at this first and choose from them...also opens more avenues for you...what do you want to do???

become a personal trainer, a nvq level 3 in personal training sounds more like itll coverr whats required. But a degree in something like sports and excercise science may also be good as it enters areas like nutrtion and how our bodies cope in different climates etc, plus a degree generally guarentees a decent job in england.

obviously the science degree will take longer but will be more than worth it in the long run...i wish i had done one when i was younger instead of a generic PT course that taught me next to nothing
