The trainer academy study guide was extremely helpful. I suggest getting the study guide as soon as you sign up for your cpt to use in conjunction with the textbook.

Trainer academy was a great strategical and organized, condensed form of the overwhelming information on the CSCS exam. Thanks to trainer academy I passed my CSCS first attempt and I really enjoyed the interactive quizzes and everything else they have to offer!

Overall, this is excellent. I would not have passed the CSCS exam without it. However, watch out for chapters 15 and 16 of the study guide...it definitely does not cover everything.

The program overall was definitely very helpful. The study guide was the most beneficial, by far, to me, as it helped condense the information to some of the most important things to focus on.

Trainer Academy ensured my success during the CSCS exam. I had taken the exam prior to using Trainer Academy, and I did not pass one of the sections (Practical Applied). Once I used the tools Trainer Academy offered, I passed the exam with ease. The practice questions helped me to prepare fully for the exam and grasp the content in a comprehensive manner. I highly recommend this package.

Trainer Academy was great for studying! I am happy I chose to use them. I passed my test on the 1st try. I have trouble with remembering some things and reading comprehension, but this made it a lot easier for me.
