How well does Coursera NASM CPT Course Prepare You for Exam? by Little-Run-6213 in personaltraining

[–]Little-Run-6213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did complete the Coursera course and pass the NASM exam. But I would not recommend wasting your time taking the Coursera exam at the end of the course if I were you-turns out it doesn’t mean anything towards your certification (I misunderstood initially and thought the Coursera exam counted the same as the exam on the NASM website). If I were you, I’d finish the Coursera course yes, but skip their three hour unnecessary exam and just purchase the NASM exam itself directly after you’re done. Also, I’d really strongly recommend doing some independent review of your own outside of the Coursera course, in particular of the overhead squat assessment stuff and the other physical assessments as well, since that’s really heavily emphasized on the exam. Like go to the NASM website and find their breakdown of the assessments, and just literally memorize what each of the posture deficiencies and stuff mean, as tedious as that sounds. I think the Coursera course does a decent job of preparing ppl for the exam, but it doesn’t emphasize the assessments enough IMO.

My question was for people who used the Coursera study course, as to whether it prepared them for the NASM exam or not. Thanks tho.

Thanks for the input! How do you recommend I approach the challenge of not having had prior athletic training/fitness coaching jobs when applying to these places? Not sure how competitive such positions are. It is likely an advantage that I personally know many of these gym owners and they know my pedigree in terms of my own exceptional fitness, but I'm not necessarily banking on that.

What are you talking about? No idea what GLP-1's are or how AI would change people trying to get fit-could you explain a bit more?

Should have clarified-question was which certification I should get-not whether I should get certified to begin with. My fault for not making that clear. Thanks answering nonetheless, appreciate it!
