AFPA certifications

I am on the board of a newly-opened wellness center in our little town in the middle of nowhere, and we are having a lot of trouble finding trainers and instructors for classes, especially for male-oriented programming.
So, I was looking into getting certified for something worthwhile. The facility got a grant to "teach the trainer" - aka, to pay for people to get certified in various programs.
My question is - are AFPA certifications worth anything? I'm kinda new to this whole fitness thing, but I'm considering asking if the facility would pay for me to take the personal trainer course. Anyone have any experience with AFPA courses? Or better suggestions? Or anyone in northern Iowa/ southern Minnesota want to come teach for us?
