Hey man, from PT to PT, love your content. I was wondering what kind of camera you use and audio to produce your videos

[wanwall]

Hi. Does the college degree has to be related to Exercise or Science? I'm a graduate in Bachelor's in Engineering from Singapore

I have a copy of the third edition of the ESTC textbook, can I study off it and pass the exam

[zacharylowery]

Weird question, but what if the textbook gets updated and you’re half a month out from sitting for the exam?
By the way thank you so much for all the information you’ve provided. You’ve really helped me on my CSCS study journey!

with a NSCA CSCS certification can we compet with any NCCA accredited certification ?

What chapters from the 4th edition text are covered in the Practical Applied section of the exam? I have already passed the Scientific Foundations portion and just need to study for the Practical Applied section. Just trying to use my time wisely and not go over anything I don't need to! Thanks!

[mohsinhelal]

Do we have to renew our certification at time to time.

Hi Matt, does the 70% passing requirement apply to the total questions of each section (70% in applied, 70% in scientific foundations)? Or does it apply to 70% of each sub category (needing 70% in exercise science, 70% in sport psych, 70% in nutrition, etc)?

[Lagann]

Does it matter what year I graduated as long as I can show official transcripts of having a degree? my b.s. in exercise science is from about 8 years ago.

[mayurpurbi]

I'm currently running my gym and i do have diploma in Personal Training. Can I use my study material of Diploma course for the preparation of CSCS Exam ?

[geniusloveslucy]

What are the differences between 5th and 4th editions? thank you~

[alighahremanloo]

Are the CPT study materials the same as CSCS ?

[GoGoober]

Hey brother, I've been a trainer for 6 years and now a student physical therapist. Thinking about getting my CSCS during the 3 week holiday break, do you think that's a reasonable anount of time to get it? Thanks for the vid💪

[teofitness]

Should we buy the textbook or it is provided after we sign up for the exam?
