there is no online course that needs to be passed to become ACE certified, it’s just the exam.

I agree! Sorry to say , thats how most CPT’s get certified. ACSM and NSCA are good.
I took a 6 month class with course materials and in gym training. Training others that is. My schooling was through NPTI, they have schools nationwide and are based on NSCA, they also teach nutrition.
I guess it depends on what kind of person you are and what kind of trainer you want to be.

Does a weekend workshop over a few hours give someone the know how and practical knowledge need to safely help people achieve health/fitness goals?
Chronic exercise can be dangerous if the client/patient is not properly monitored and/or taught exercises. The results could include over use injuries, nutrition problems (psychological/physical), or heart complications.
I would recommend certification by the most demanding organizations: ACSM, ACE, or NSCA. I believe ACSM is the GOLD STANDARD!
