ON-SITE CERTIFICATION EXAMS
The perfect place to get certified with NSCA's gold standard certifications, and be one step closer to being part of NSCA's community of more than 50,000 highly respected associated professionals in the strength and conditioning industry.
NSCA EXAM PREP LIVE - CSCS and CPT only
Get the expert insight and the functional feedback you need to get stronger results on any of NSCA's four certification exams. This two-day workshop is as active as it is informative, so come prepared to put your book knowledge in action with hands-on demonstrations and more.
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.
