Traîner Academy provides a good tool to help review the whole course. And to memorize, as it helps evaluate what must be reviewed again.

This program was very helpful to guide my studies. It made it very easy to tell what areas I needed to focus on, as well as for helping me keep a structure my studies.

I felt that these practice exams gave me a very good idea of where I was weak or missing information/knowledge. Without these, I definitely would have missed questions on some of the more obscure topics. My one complaint was that there were a few times where questions were duplicated on the tests which resulted in inflated scores, other than that, I thought these were well balanced and in depth!

Study material was definitely helpful, but there are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors within the flashcards, tests, and other materials that lead to confusion and diminished the value of the product.

Aside from the pneumonics which were very random and unhelpful, the tests, quizzes, and practice resources were great and helped me pass on the first try

I like the quizzes and test especially the smaller ones that could be completed quickly when in between work. The charts were also very good. I listened to audiotapes once and thought helpful. I haven't been able to take CSCS test yet due to everything being shut down I am definitely ready and confident I will pass easily when testing is available, which hopefully is in June. May look to leave NY if testing sites Available in other states, but states near NY like NJ, PA, and CT in same mess as NY.

You're very welcome Gregory! We are so glad that you found the study materials, such as the practice exams, to be so beneficial and allowed you to prepare for the exam so much faster than if you had only used the CSCS program materials. Congrats on passing!

This course kept me accountable to study, outline was great, and definitely boosted the confidence going into the test. Only suggestions I have to make it better is fix the typos on the flash cards and don’t double dip on questions between the quizzes and practice exams. But I still feel it was definitely worth it and gave me the edge I needed to pass first try.

While the mnemonics were not my learning style, the information provided was very beneficial for me and allowed me to get in the necessary reps prior to the test. It also provided a solid framework of what was to be expected on the test (not answers, just outlines). I think this program can be very helpful in assisting anyone looking to create a study plan of action prior to the CSCS.
