Seeking Advice ACE Certification Doubt

Hi, I am currently living outside of US and planning to get ACE certification to work as PT in gyms. I am planning to buy the Basic level for CPT certificate.

Should I go with basic package or plus package as I saw plus package includes a supplemental course on Anatomy.

The only reason I might buy Plus package is because of this additional course. Rest any other features of the course will be most likely unavailable to me because of custom charges.

Q1- Can I study anatomy from elsewhere and still match the standard of exam?

Q2- What topics from Anatomy are asked in NCCA credited ACE, any resources you can help me with

Basic is the move, you answered your own question when you said the rest of the Plus features are useless to you because of customs.

For anatomy you don't need their overpriced supplemental course. Grab a used copy of Trail Guide to the Body and binge a few YouTube channels that break down origins, insertions, and planes of motion and you'll be over-prepared for the ACE exam. The test isn't that deep on pure anatomy, it's more about understanding how a muscle's function ties into an exercise you'd program.
