Energy Pathways

Your final CFT examination includes a written component. Each week going forward, we will provide you with an assignment that allows you to develop your written submission in manageable steps. By the time you reach week 10, you will have completed the written portion. All you will need to do is put your responses together and submit. This week, we will introduce you to the learning experiences. Learning experiences are designed to increase your knowledge in areas that interest you. Learning experiences allow you to integrate the material and serve as a means for ISSA graders to assess your grasp of course concepts. Each essay response is required to be a minimum of 250 words and, most importantly, include your personal insights as to how the topic will help you as a future professional trainer. Because these essays are open-book, take the time to provide ample information, detail, and personal analysis in each essay response. While there is a minimum word requirement for each essay, there is not a maximum word limit. Feel free to elaborate as needed with relevant information to meet your own personal level of satisfaction. Students utilize ISSA education in various ways: some target specific types of clients, some focus in a particular area of fitness, some simply want to improve their own well being. Be sure to tailor each learning experience response to best fit your personal and professional interests.
