ERP Testimonials

“The NSCA would like to thank all of you who have given permission to have your testimonials added to this page. Your comments and support are truly appreciated.”

"Attending an NSCA ERP school is tremendously beneficial for anyone pursuing an occupation or additional knowledge in the exercise science field. I personally have been presented with a multitude of educational and networking opportunities while receiving a quality education from knowledgeable NSCA certified instructors. Attending an NSCA ERP school also helped my preparation for both of the NSCA certification examinations. After attending the ERP-approved curriculum at the University of Oklahoma, I was able to pass both the CSCS and NSCA-CPT tests, each in a single attempt. I am extremely thankful for the opportunities I have encountered as a result of attending an NSCA ERP school and also for the credibility I will receive through attaining the NSCA certifications."

“Going to an NSCA-recognized school will greatly benefit anyone who wants to distinguish themselves as professionals in exercise science. After taking the Personal Training and Strength and Conditioning courses at the University of Oklahoma (OU), I felt prepared and ready to take the NSCA certification exams. After graduating from OU, I felt like I was one step ahead of my colleagues. I would highly recommend anyone going into the fitness industry to attend a school that is recognized by the NSCA’s Education Recognition Program.”
