Virtually every organization that provides certifications within the fitness delivery industry requires it’s holders to complete a set amount of continuing education units, or continuing education credits, or other names for professional knowledge or skill development. Although these organizations prefer to grant credit from their own internal courses or from pre-approved providers, each one will accept and grant continuing education credit from non-pre-approved providers. Our courses meet and exceed the requirements of the vast majority of certifying organizations and we provide support for your petition for credit. CEU credit from non-pre-approved providers often requires specific documentation such as a petition form from the student, a course syllabus, and an instructor curriculum vita to be submitted. We will provide these to you at your request. Some commonly held personal trainer credentials where this is the case are:
