Personal Trainer Certifications

What certification(s) should a personal trainer have?

There seems to be a veritable alphbet soup of certification organizations out there. What certifications can you trust?
 
The two more trustworthy or recognized certifications include ACE and the CSCS by the NSCA (National council of strength and conditioning association.)
 
I am certified through NFPT, but I prefer to hire CSCS's to work for me at my fitness center. They are consistently better qualified than any other cert I have seen out there, and I have been in this industry for a very long time.
 
I hear you Jean-Paul. I've learned it's really the person and not neccessarily the certifying association.
