Florida 2013 Exam Prep Symposium

  • ExamPrepLive201303_700x160


    April 3-4, 2013

    This Exam Prep Symposium is NSCA-CPT Only 

    Where:
    Gainesville Health and Fitness Center
    4820 Newberry Rd.
    Gainesville, FL 32607  

    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.
