USPTA vs. PTR

[badmice2]

I've been thinking about getting certify to teach tennis. I'm not necessary looking to become pro master up front, but a certificate where i can at least teach at community centers or perhaps group lessons at local clubs. In regards to the different programs, which one is better to get? I've already done some research and some of the things i noticed:

1 - world recolonization (PTR) vs. US only (USPTA)
2 - various perks with the due/certification
3 - insurance converage

Is one better than the other? your thoughts?

Lots of posts on this topic to search through with good information.

I was USPTA certified because I didnt care about the "world" thing. I only cared about it being more popular on the West Coast.
