CFA Prep Plans Built for Service Academy Candidates
From a free self-guided training program to full admissions coaching — we have the right level of support for where your child is right now. Every plan is built around the specific demands of the CFA and the service academy admissions process.
The CFA Is Not a Test You Can Wing
The Candidate Fitness Assessment is one of the most objective components of the service academy application — and one of the most commonly underestimated. Structured preparation makes a measurable difference.
It Takes Months to Prepare
The CFA tests peak physical performance across 6 events. Building the strength, speed, and endurance required takes consistent, progressive training over 3–6 months minimum.
Generic Fitness Isn't Enough
Athletes who are generally fit often underperform on the CFA because they haven't trained the specific events. The basketball throw, shuttle run, and pull-up standards require targeted prep.
Scores Are Compared to Peers
Your child's CFA score is evaluated against other applicants. A score that feels strong may be average in the applicant pool. Knowing the competitive benchmarks is essential.
