Ohio 2013 Exam Prep Symposium Form

Exam Prep Banner


March 1-2, 2013

This Exam Prep Symposium is CSCS and NSCA-CPT Combined 

Where:
Columbus Convention Center
Rooms C-225 & C-226
400 North High Street
Columbus, OH 43215

The NSCA Exam Prep LIVE offers what the books cannot. You will enter this symposium with a solid base understanding of the Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning book, and the experts will then take that understanding and turn it into applicable knowledge. Not only will your questions be answered quickly and effectively, but the experts will also lead you in hands-on demonstrations that will help make the concepts stick. In addition to conceptual insight, you will receive functional feedback and help from peers as well. At the end of the preparations, you will find reason to celebrate with the confidence you need to achieve stronger exam results.

NOTE: It is important to understand that this symposium, by itself, is not intended to fully prepare candidates for the NSCA examination. Candidates who are more prepared (have read the Essentials textbook) will have a better experience and increase their chances of conceptually understanding each lecture. Attending a symposium is not required to take the examination.

Exam Prep Symposium January 2, 2013.
