I passed the IFA Sports Nutritionist Certification test, now before you get all that excited it's not that big of a deal. But it is a real test, and I did have to study for it.
If you go to http://www.ifafitness.com/ you can take the test online, for free. It doesn't cost you anything to take the test. But if you pass the test then you have the option to pay to receive the certificate that you passed. The good news is that you don't have to buy it right away (or ever if you don't want to). They will give you a code and if you use it to log back in you can buy your certification later.
IFA stands for International Fitness Association and there is actual three tests you can take
Aerobics Instructor & Personal Trainer
(Step - Kickboxing - Group Exercise)
Sports Nutritionist
Senior Fitness Instructor
If are into fitness training then having these certifications might be nice...
But if you aren't really interested in this little certificate you might still be interested to know that IFA gives away a free ebook to study from for the tests. So you can still get this ebook and learn about nutrition and fitness things.
The ebook is called Fitness ABC's manual and is available on the homepage. One note that is ebook for all three tests. There are some other PDF files that you can download that actual have the names of the certifications. But those are actual just for taking the test on paper and sending it it.
I am not sure that these certifications hold any real weight. But this is a good (free) resource to study and learn more on these subjects. And if you pass it's something cool to tell your friends about.
