Trainer Academy’s 2-week cram version study guide provided everything you could ask for when cramming. Study guide included a super thorough cheat sheet of key terms, a handy quiz-style smartphone app with thousands of simple questions and answers, written and audio guides, and multiple practice tests. Received a solid passing grade!

Great resource to help pass the exam. I really enjoy doing the practice tests since many of the questions on the exam were similarly worded. I would definitely recommend trainer academy if your planning on taking the NSCA-CPT exam.

Trainer Academy's NASM CPT MVP Package has been amazing. It has been a great tool to help me prepare for the test! I am not the best studier or test taker so having this tool has been a great help to keep me on course with the material. Some of the study material can be over whelming, but Trainer Academy does an awesome job of breaking everything down into bite size pieces. I have not taken the test yet, but plan on doing so in the upcoming months. Using everything Trainer Academy provided me will set me up to pass the test! The package provides study guides, practice tests, flash cards, basically everything you'll need to prepare for the test. I definitely recommend it, it sets you up for success!

Content was excellent and clearly gave me a leg up on study. Made my study time way more efficient and practice tests were very helpful. Felt comfortable on test day and passed on first try. NOT an easy test.

I did pass the NSCA-CPT so I can’t deny Trainer Academy helped me. However nothing is super ground breaking. It’s a simple breakdown of how many weeks you have to study and a set amount of chapters and tests that you need to get through within those weeks.
