I passed the CSCS certification exam that I took about six weeks ago. I am very pleased about this. It was a challenging four hour test. And the CSCS credential is the only certification that's recognized by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies which means it's the only one that's standardized.
Here's a little about the certification: The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) program was created in 1985 to identify individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to design and implement safe and effective strength and conditioning programs for athletes in a team setting. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified.
