 The CSCS and NSCA-CPT certifications are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. |
CSCS Exam Preparation Symposia
The CSCS Exam Preparation Symposium program is offered for individuals who wish to help their students or colleagues prepare
for the CSCS exam with an extensive two-day workshop. In most cases, you must pre-register for symposia. Please contact the symposium host for more
information or to register for any symposium.
Although the NSCA Certification has approved the following symposia, we are
not responsible for any expenses incurred by attendees in the case of cancellation. The symposia
are independent of the CSCS and NSCA-CPT exams and are provided as an optional tool for
reviewing for our certification exams. Upon cancellation of a symposium, candidates who are
registered are required to abide by the transfer and cancellation policies agreed to in the
affirmation on the registration forms.
NOTICE: It is important to understand that a symposium, by itself, is not intended to fully
prepare candidates for the CSCS and/or NSCA-CPT examination(s). Also, attending a symposium is not
required to take the examination.
