Certified strength and conditioning specialists (CSCSs) are professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train athletes for the primary goal of improving athletic performance. The CSCS certification is widely recognized as the esteemed credential for strength and conditioning professionals in the United States and, increasingly, around the world. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and Human Kinetics have jointly developed an online course to help people study for the CSCS examination. NSCA’s Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Online Study/CE Course works in tandem with the material presented in Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning to offer a practical and efficient method of studying the content assessed on the CSCS exam.

The course content reflects the weighting and scope of the CSCS exam and has varying levels of recall, application, and analysis activities for each primary objective. Featuring over 160 interactive learning activities, this online course offers scientific knowledge and practical application and pinpoints the information required for preparing for the exam. The content covered relates directly to the on-the-job duties and responsibilities of a certified strength and conditioning specialist, and an end-of-course test evaluates the learner’s content knowledge, mimicking the scope and difficulty of the actual certification exam. Current certified professionals who complete the course and pass the test can earn continuing education units.

The information presented in the course assists exam candidates in the studying process. It should not be considered the only method of preparing for the CSCS exam. Ultimately, it will be each candidate’s academic, practical, and test-taking abilities that dictate the effectiveness of the preparation materials. The information should increase the likelihood of passing the CSCS exam, but it does not guarantee a successful performance.

Audience

Course for those studying for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam; continuing education resource for those working with clients and athletes, including fitness professionals and athletic trainers.
