In July 2018, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) announced that by 2030 (target date) the eligibility for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®) examination will require candidates to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in a strength and conditioning related field, from a program accredited by an NSCA-approved accrediting agency. The development of the NSCA approved accrediting agency is currently underway and is expected to be fully functional by 2021, with the first program targeted to be accredited in 2022.
