[@jman2005]

Thanks for the video upload. ISSA CPT and Nutritionist here. I'm at the end of my quizzes for the strength and conditioning program and prepping for the test. My full time career is in health care, but I hope transition to full time training of athletes and/or clients at some point. Thanks for the insights on next steps to take. Great job.

You’re welcome! Best of luck to you!

[@creedewylie267]

Hey thanks for the vid!

Thanks for watching!

[@Bushcraft242]

Great courses master trainer

Good for you!

[@christopherblessing9727]

Hello, thank you for your informative video on the course, I was wondering if the strength and conditioning coach certification needs to be renewed every two years or if it would also require continuing education credits to maintain, thank you.

Yes, all reputable professional credentials require CERs. You don’t have to take the same course again, but you will need to meet the CER requirements. If a credential does not require CERs that’s a red flag that it not reputable.

[@russellfine7064]

Hi, I'm currently studying to be a master trainer and I was wondering if you could make a video on how to write essays and case studies because I've never done that before. Thank you in advance

Oh wow! I’m not sure I could teach that in a single video! I majored in communication in college and worked in that area for many years so it’s honestly many years of education and work experience that enable me to write essays. I’m sure someone else has a done a video on writing essays for beginners though! Do a search and see what you find 😉

[@russellfine7064]

Ok, thank you for getting back to me so quickly. 😊

You’re welcome!

[@cinthya-yc9pc]

Hi Aimee, is it possible to study the certifications and courses of ISSA in Spanish and present the exam? Do you know if the books are available in Spanish?

Great question! Yes! The ISSA CPT course is available in Spanish including the online books. You can find out more here: issa.sjv.io/9gd540

[@alexisbeltran7110]

Hi there. Thank you for the informative video. I'm a CPT and nutritionist through ISSA. I've even trained clients and happy this knowledge has been very beneficial. Anywho I'm a Powerlifter on my personal time in the gym ... Would the strength and conditioning help me more to help others powerlift or would the performance enhancement help in your opinion. Please and thank you

My specialty is off-ice training for athletes that skate. I'm not familiar enough with powerlifting to give you a good answer. The best thing to do is to reach out to ISSA and ask them.

[@ronbowman8553]

They have a powerlifting coach cert.

[@abdelfattahalanati5821]

I want to ask you, I have a bachelor’s degree (Sport Coaching & Management) and a month ago I got ISSA-CPT, and I started working in a Gym, but I want to work with athletes in sports academies specialized for athletes not in a gym with normal people, my question is this accreditation is suitable for me?

Definitely! If you are looking to work with athletes, getting a Strength & Conditioning certification is worthwhile! You may want to consider also taking the NCCA exam as many sports organizations will require it. You should also take a look at getting the NSCA CSCS as it is the gold-standard in the US: www.nsca.com/certification/cscs/

[@mightyzane5400]

Hi, great video! Is it worth for me as a physical therapist assistant to get the Certification of Strength and Conditioning in order for my resume and skills will be more geared towards the sports physical therapy realm

I can’t really speak to that. You could inquire with your employer and see if they think it would bring value to your position.

[@mightyzane5400]

@ will do, thank you

[@Gregdarez]

If we’re being consistent how long you think it would take to get the cert

You can do it in a few weeks, if you have the time.

[@valentinalaval2380]

Do you have an video for life span certification?

No. I haven’t taken that course.

[@keithhente5511]

I just passed my ISSA CPT I’m also signed up for Nutrition and The Strength and Conditioning courses. Which one would you recommend taking first to achieve m Elite Course

Congratulations! I suggest taking nutrition first.

[@keithhente5511]

@ thanks for the affirmation of what I was thinking of doing. Your great information has been mentoring in focusing on my goals as a elite trainer

So glad that I can help!

[@edwardsekona8409]

How can you sit on the final exam without it being counted as incomplete?

As long as you complete before the expiration date, you can sit on it as long as you want! You are provided 2 years to take the exam.

[@jperception817]

How many course i need to take to get certified as personal trainer?

To be certified as a personal trainer, you only need to take the Certified Personal Trainer course: issa.sjv.io/7mv333

[@shayrogers3367]

Do you have anything on Issa cycle certification

I haven't taken that course.

[@sasamilenic1381]

How long should the answers actually be? Is there a minimum? Because most of the questions are pretty straight forward and I cant really say too much about them. Please help!

It depends on the question. For my answers the length was as follows: SSC = 608 words Plyometrics = 971 words Explosive Strength = 363 words Athletes That Use All 3 Energy Pathways = 1,612 words SMR = 1,318 words BUT, don't just add words for the sake of adding words. Make sure everything you include is relevant to the question. I provided examples and used additional references to help elaborate to support my responses.

[@sasamilenic1381]

@ Thank you for such a quick response :)

[@sasamilenic1381]

@ Also, do you need to cite the ISSA textbook, or is that implied?

You would need the textbook in some form. When you enroll in the course it is included as an electronic version (PDF and online reading). So, if you are taking the exam, you already have the textbook.

You're welcome! Best of luck!

[@nataraja9062]

How do you prepare for practical aspects of strength and conditioning. Iam a fresher to strength and conditioning.how did i able to learn practical exercise prescription and design protocol sports specific?

Did you complete the course?

[@nataraja9062]

@ no ,iam a physio ,i need to know more in practical aspects like exercise variations tailor made for particular sports. Could you suggest a course more suitable for physio.

If I were you, I would look into NSCA CSCS: www.nsca.com/certification/certification-overview/ This is the gold standard.

[@knownunknown2168]

Can i get my certificate before paying all the equated monthly installments?

I believe as long as you are current with your payments you can receive your certificate. However, if you default after receiving your certification it will be revoked. You can contact ISSA Support to confirm.

[@knownunknown2168]

@ thanks so much ❤️

You’re welcome!

[@Bushcraft242]

Shotokan karate instructor

[@jacksonabe863]

Who is the author of this S&C book? Online version doesn't say and I need the author's name to cite my exam questions. Thank you

The online version and print version are the same. There is no main author, so I used ISSA in place of an authors name.

[@jacksonabe863]

@ thank you

You’re welcome

[@HoangAnhNguyen-vt1yd]

Can u help me for Final Exam. Please !

What do you need help with?

[@adhamelsharqawy9964]

Hello Aimee, I’m an Issa student, And now I’m studying the s&c course, but I don’t have in my account the s&c fast track book, could you please send me this pdf as I really want it, thank you 🙏🏻

It should appear under Downloads. You'll find it next to the textbook. If it's not there, reach out to ISSA Education Services and ask them for it!

[@adhamelsharqawy9964]

@ “We do not have a fastrack option for any other course other than the Certified Personal Training course” That was their reply

Hmmmm. Well, it’s possible that they’ve changed the course since I took it. It did appear in mine!

[@adhamelsharqawy9964]

@ Thank you Aimee I have already found it in my downloads

Awesome!!!

[@sriyer03]

Is there a any prerequisite for this course

Not for the online exam. However, it is helpful if you are a certified personal trainer first.
