Why Become Certified? Why Choose CSCS or NSCA-CPT?

Scope of Practice

• The exams focus on the "real-world" responsibilities of personal trainers and strength and conditioning professionals.
• Validation of the exams signifies that individuals are tested over the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to be competent in their respective professional career areas.

Exam Development

• Passing a challenging exam demonstrates your level of commitment to the industry and your career, helps to substantiate your competency level to others and proves that you are indeed qualified to perform the tasks expected of you.
• By passing a difficult-to-obtain exam, you gain instant credibility and an edge in the industry over personal trainers and strength and conditioning professionals who have earned a less challenging and less respected certification.

National Accreditation

• The NSCA Certification Commission is the only fitness-related organization to have credentials nationally accredited by the NCCA since 1993.
