I am gonna take a shot in the dark hear but I think you should contact Sports Science Institute of South Africa ( www.ssisa.com )
and see what places they recommend.

I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.

ETA and HFPA are shap

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

My bro went to ETA and he got the qualifications but they are useless. They lose your assignments and lecturers don't pitch etc. Terrible!

I dont think the courses will help you much when it comes to actual body building itself, but I think you can make good money being in the fitness industry, if you know what your doing and now how to market yourself. Even more so if you look the part.
There is nothing worse than a skinny/fat(no muscle but fat) oke telling you what to do

All though the market is quite flooded, alot of the PT's Ive come across are useless. Especially when it comes to Body Building.

Look if all you want to do is get qualified so you can be a PT then they're fine. Don't expect to expand your knowledge on bodybuilding. Employers care if you've got the shitty piece of paper or not.
