✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • The first cohort kicks off on March 7. You’ll receive the full schedule and Zoom links after registration, along with early access materials to help you hit the ground running.

  • The course runs for 12 weeks, with two live sessions per week. Each session is recorded and uploaded, so you can review or catch up on your own time.

  • You get access to all 24 live sessions, the full on-demand video library, custom study tools (quizzes, flashcards, cheat sheets), a practice exam you can take multiple times, lifetime access to the private community, and a pass guarantee—if you don’t pass the CSCS exam, you can join the next cohort for free.

  • Due to the live nature of the course and instant access to proprietary materials, there are no refunds—but the pass guarantee means you can re-enroll for free if you don’t pass the CSCS exam.

  • No. The CSCS Accelerator is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSCA. It’s an independent prep course designed to help you master the material covered in the NSCA's Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning (4th ed.) and prepare you to succeed on the CSCS exam. All content is aligned with the official exam outline and built from years of experience teaching this material at the university level.

  • No—I don’t work for the NSCA. I’m a PhD-trained sport physiologist, university professor, and CSCS-certified coach with years of experience teaching strength and conditioning at the collegiate level. This course is independently developed to help coaches and students prepare for the CSCS exam using clear instruction, applied science, and real-world coaching context.

    That said, I actively support and contribute to the NSCA. I speak at NSCA events, volunteer to help organize conferences and line up expert speakers, teach NSCA-sanctioned certification prep courses, and I’ll even be representing the NSCA internationally this summer. I believe in their mission and I’m proud to be a long-time member of the NSCA community.

  • We’ll move through the material at a clear, focused pace: roughly two chapters per week, supported by two live sessions, quizzes, and ongoing guidance to keep you on track. But if that’s too fast you can always revisit lectures and modules as many times as you’d like.

  • Yes. When you click to save your spot, just choose the 3-month payment plan option at checkout—it’s simple, automated, and gives you full access right away.

  • Yes—especially if you're ready to stop putting off the CSCS and finally get it done. This course isn’t just about the basics. It’s about refining your knowledge, filling in the science gaps, and giving you the structure, support, and accountability to pass the exam efficiently and confidently.

  • Yes. Many professionals in rehab and performance fields take the CSCS to expand their scope and credibility. This course will guide you through the specific material tested on the exam—especially the applied biomechanics, programming, and physiology that often feel outside the clinical wheelhouse. You bring your clinical background; we’ll help you connect it to strength and conditioning performance.

  • This isn’t just a content dump. It’s a structured, coached system designed to help you retain, apply, and perform. You’ll get expert-led teaching, real-time feedback, accountability, and support—all mapped to the actual exam. I’m here to help you succeed like I have for thousands of people

  • Nope. While I’ve taught this content at the university level for years, this version of the Accelerator is open to anyone preparing for the CSCS. In fact, if you are one of my current university students and would like access to anything listed here, please stop by my office or shoot me an email! I’m happy to help.

  • You will have access once the course opens on 4/28/25. That said, as part of the inaugural cohort, I will literally build the resources for you as we go. Some material will be available initially, but the live lectures and curated study material will drop into the course each week.

  • You’ll have lifetime access to all the recordings and study tools, plus continued access to the private community.

  • Yes—you’ll access everything through Canvas, which has a mobile app so you can study, watch session recordings, and complete course materials from anywhere.

  • Yes. You’ll need the NSCA Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning (4th edition). You don’t need to read it cover to cover before we start, but having the book on hand is essential—we’ll walk through it together in a focused, strategic sequence.

  • No—and here’s why: the $600 launch price is already deeply discounted from the full course value ($2,600). This is a one-time offer designed to make expert-led CSCS prep more accessible than ever.

  • Absolutely. You’ll earn $50 for every person you refer who completes the course. Bring a few teammates or classmates and your registration could pay for itself.

  • Yes. Throughout the course, you’ll complete optional but highly recommended practical assignments designed to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world coaching. These include needs analysis and programming case studies, exercise technique demonstration videos, training program critiques, athlete testing assessments, and creating a periodized strength and conditioning program. They’re graded against powerful rubrics built to deepen your understanding and help you immediately apply what you’re learning to athletes, clients, or your own training.
