CSPS Exam Study Materials

The CSPS® examination is based upon the critical knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA’s) needed to safely and effectively work with special populations. These KSA’s are developed following a job analysis and are used to create the CSPS Detailed Content Outline (DCO). Therefore, the materials developed by the NSCA serve as the primary resources for preparation, but they should not be considered as the sole sources for the exam. The NSCA does not require, provide, or endorse any specific study guides, preparation materials, or review courses. Candidates who choose to use and/or purchase NSCA preparatory materials are not guaranteed a passing score on certification exams offered by the NSCA.
