They also offer videos along with the book, if you so choose (or CD study materials). I chose VHW + the book, the book is the base study material and is pretty damn huge. You have 90 days from purchase of the materials to take and pass your test, or you pay $99 for a re-schedule for the test. I believe you have to wait 30 days if you fail previously.
IMO this test will not be a breeze unless you can find the time to get serious with studying, and are really interested in making it happen. Some may find it easy, but I would venture most think its easier than it is. More than one personal who has taken some other certifications said they were easy, most notably was ISSA which has gained popularity, but this is not the only forum where I have seen people say it was worthless by comparison. While ISSA is gaining popularity it is not one of the "big 3" that I see most often requested by gyms.
