Boss, I just took the NSCA-CPT ... it is well worth the money to buy all the study materials ... I think I spent about $700 for the study stuff, the exam, and the NSCA membership. I have a BA and a BS and I am a licenced physical therapist. With my background the test was not exceedingly difficult although I cannot imagine how difficult it would be had I not had classes in anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, sports medicine in the past. Now that there is the new option of taking it anytime via computer, get the study materials (the whole package) spend a while studying it and take all of the practice exams offerred. When you are consistenly passing those, then sit for the exam. Getting some good practical experience with a gym chain is a great idea too.
Best of luck to you.
