NSCA-CSCS in Thailand!

What is CSCS?

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS) are fitness professionals who apply scientific knowledge to train clients and athletes for the primary goal of improving performance. They conduct sport-specific testing sessions, design and implement safe and effective strength training and conditioning programmes and provide guidance regarding nutrition and injury prevention.

Who becomes CSCS certified and why?

The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) programme, created in 1985, distinguishes individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to design and implement safe and effective strength and conditioning programmes for amateur and professional athletes. The programme encourages a high level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programmes.

Today, more than 21,000 professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious certificate, including strength coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, personal trainers, physicians, chiropractors, researchers and educators.

The CSCS is the only strength training and conditioning certification to be nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) in the United States. It has been nationally accredited since 1993.

Who can apply?

Candidates must submit an original, official transcript of at least a bachelor's degree (BS/BA) or chiropractic medicine degree granted by an accredited institution (in Thailand, by a university recognized by the Ministry of Education). University students in their last year can also take the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam if currently enrolled in an accredited institution, however the NSCA will not release exam scores until graduation can be confirmed.

“The NSCA credentials help to set you apart from the crowd and give you an edge when competing for a new position.  Nowadays, many employers at universities, high schools and fitness certers are looking for the CSCS and NSCA-CPT certification.” Avery D. Faigenbaum, EdD, CSCS, *D Associate Professor, Health and Exercise Science The Colledge of New Jesey.

“As an internationally recognized consultant , I convince every club owner and manager with whom I consult that the CSCS or the NSCA-CPT credential must be required for a personal trainer to be promoted the senior level, which entitles then to a higher pay scale and the potential to be promoted to a management position within their organization” Bob Esquerre, NSCA-CPT International Consulting Director.
