CSCS*D
What does the *D mean and how do you get it? I think I know how you get a CSCS, but where does the D come from?

Functional Path Training
The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

Vern,
I believe the "D" stands for Distinguished or Distiction meaning they went above and beyond the normal amount of required CEU's.

Mark...you forgot to mention, "Program Fee
The application fee is $25 if applying for Recertified with Distinction for one credential or $40 if applying for Recertified with Distinction for both credentials".
Does the allied health industry recognizes someone with a CSCS or ACSM certification?
Given equal educations, experiences, and interviews, who do you hire to work with late stage rehabilitation and conditioning...someone with a CSCS or ACSM certification?

Thank you for the info on CSCS*D.
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between CSCS and a "Registered" CSCS? and How is that different than a CSCS with Distinction?
Confuse in California
Basically the *D recognizes those who give more money to the organization.
As for allied health recognizing a CSCS or ACSM, I have not seen that as a possiblity as state licensing would govern that aspect, but I am sure there are those out there with misconceptions.
To Anynomous #5 and Confuse in California
Here is the low down on the difference with being "Registered" CSCS, CSCS*D, and CSCS
1) CSCS = $260 for the exam if you are a member
2) CSCS*D = $25 or/and $45 for dual recert
3) "Registered" CSCS = $285 for the application to be "registered"
1a.CSCS = You are specially recognized
2a. CSCS*D = You are really specially recognized
3a. Registered CSCS = You are really really specially recognized
It cost me $420 to take the specialist exam. No I didn't take the test twice, I lost my entrance ticket the day before the exam.
