The strength and conditioning professional's knowledge and skill development includes competencies in all of the following EXCEPT

• A. Exercise and sport science
• B. Administration and management
• C. Finance and appraisal
• D. Teaching and coaching

Answer: (C)

The area being tested focuses on which knowledge domains a strength and conditioning professional typically develops for effective practice. Core competencies include applying exercise science to design and monitor training programs, administering and managing a facility or program, and teaching athletes through clear instruction, demonstrations, and feedback. Finance and appraisal, while useful for budgeting or evaluating costs in some settings, is not a primary or required competency within these CSCS-related domains. It’s outside the main areas that drive athletic preparation and program delivery, which is why it’s the exception.
