GIFTED TESTIMONIALS

I am grateful to Instructor Matt Stratton and the Gifted Academics staff for putting together a structured course with weekly 1-on-1 video sessions, detailed chapter outlines, review questions, and 2 mock exams. During our first session, Matt took the time to know my “Why” in pursuing a CSCS Certification and made it a personable experience. I benefited most when Matt and I would review test questions and go over why something was wrong. I knew I was prepared going into the exam and passed both sections with flying colors. Whether you have an exercise physiology background or not, I highly recommend the Gifted Academics course to anyone looking to obtain a CSCS!

I give the Gifted Academics CSCS prep course 5 stars and two thumbs up.

I scored an 86 on the foundations exam and an 85 on the applied exam, and I would not have passed had it not been for this course.

I literally got to sit down with an Exercise Science professor and learn Strength and Conditioning 1-on-1. It does not get any better.

When it comes to learning, I could never be handed just a book to figure it out on my own. Gifted Academics did an amazing job making 24 chapters of material digestible & easy to understand. Each week I was given material to go through at my own pace & practice questions to test my knowledge and then I met with my instructor over a video call to go over anything I didn’t fully understand. This helped me tremendously with understanding a number of different topics & the specific verbiage that the CSCS uses. My instructor also used his own experience to give me tips & tricks on how to understand the material & pass the test. The CSCS preparation course was worth the investment.
