I just passed my NSCA-CPT

[Torrtrefireto]

I just passed on my first attempt easily the NSCA CPT test. I believe it to be the 2nd best cert you can get besides the NSCA CSCS. So I'm pretty excited, first page who posts here gets a weak 27 reps eventually?

what is that test used for?

Good stuff. How much did it cost you total to get it?

Make sure you go with one of the nationally accredited ones. I personally think NSCA is leaps and beyond all others but other people think NASM, ACSM ect are also worthy. A cert you can get in 15 minutes isn't worth your time

Rougly..... 400$ membership (not required but they send you a lot of studies and other things that you can get usefull stuff out of) books and the test.
Just book and test probably would have been like 300

Ahh okay. How long did you study for it? Weeks, months.. etc. (considering the time you had the materials, not so much time spent before you got them)

Um I got the books in january, took the test may 16th. There is a lot of common sense that if you are intellegent you can just get it right without really studying. A lot of stuff on here corresponds well with the nsca, and a lot of stuff on here is the complete opposite of what the nsca says. If you are a complete begginer reading the whole book is very necessary, if you have been lifting for ~6 years you should be good.

No you can't do this online its a leginimate certification. No its not easy, take any class you've ever had multiply the difficulty of the final x2 and thats probably what it would be like.

No class, independant learning....i was just comparing the work load to a class my bad. I took a class based on the ACE certification and there were 25 people in there. I'd say 90% of the people on this board could easily pass the ACE if they memorize their like "This % of people are obece stuff" The NSCA is nothing like that it is legit real knowledge

I'm already training, my gym is amazing in that they don't charge trainers anything to train there. A lot of gyms make you pay rent or something like that, all i have to do is pay 29$ a month for a membership to the gymand i keep 100% of my earnings
