All too often, the process by which certification companies require their coaches/trainers to recertify is nothing more than a veiled money grab. We clearly do not agree with this approach. While we’re staunch believers in the value and necessity of continuing education, we just think it should be done with more integrity.

Therefore, provides its coaches with two different continuing education options:

1. Write a short (1000-3000 words), science-based paper on a topic of your choosing. There is no fee for this option.

2. Take a 50-question recertification exam ($99 fee)

These options eliminate the need to spend hundreds of dollars to maintain your certification. Please click here to view the paper requirements.

UESCA is also a continuing education provider to many of the top fitness certifications. Please click here to view the organizations and their respective continuing education units/credits.

Successful completion of an additional UESCA certification course, or two(2) UESCA Specialization courses.  The CEU requirement will be considered fulfilled once the additional UESCA course(s) is completed (and they can be taken anytime during the two-year period). 

Note:  For coaches holding more than one UESCA certification, only one recertification process is required every two years and will be applied to all certifications held by the coach.

Lastly, successful completion of an additional certification or two UESCA specialization courses also fulfills your continuing education requirement. Attending a UESCA conference is another way to fulfill your continuing education requirement.
