The Strength and Conditioning Coach (SCC) Certification Assistance Program (CAP) is an initiative by Serco to expand the recruiting pipeline for the Army Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program. Many qualified SCC candidates possess the required education and professional experience but lack the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential, which is a mandatory requirement for employment as an H2F SCC.

Through the CAP, Serco provides financial sponsorship for the NSCA professional membership, CSCS study materials, and the CSCS exam. This support enables otherwise qualified candidates to obtain the CSCS certification necessary to become fully eligible for employment as a SCC on Serco’s H2F contract.

CAP Terms and Conditions

• CAP participants must commit to actively preparing for and completing the NSCA CSCS exam within 12 months of program entry.
• Serco provides vouchers to cover the following approximate NSCA costs:
  • NSCA Annual Professional Membership ($130)
  • NSCA CSCS Study Guide ($268)
  • NSCA CSCS Exam Fee ($340)
• Vouchers are non-transferable and expire one year from the date of issue.
• Continued eligibility in the CAP is contingent upon active participation and demonstrated progress toward CSCS certification.
• Successful attainment of CSCS certification makes candidates fully eligible for consideration and hiring into SCC positions supporting the Army H2F program.

CAP Benefits

• Participation in the CAP provides candidates with:
  • Financial Support – Full coverage of the NSCA annual professional membership, CSCS study guide, and CSCS exam (approximate total value: $738).
  • Professional Development – Access to NSCA resources, study materials, and practice tools to prepare effectively for the CSCS exam.
  • Career Advancement – A direct pathway to becoming a fully qualified SCC under Serco’s H2F contract.
  • Ongoing Engagement – Continued communication with Serco recruiters throughout the certification process, ensuring alignment with upcoming SCC hiring needs.
