*Continuing Education and CE Cost:
Every certification agency requires demonstration of ongoing competence by way of assessments, through coursework or some learning/training engagement, throughout the course of your certification cycle. This will assure that you are retaining, maintaining, and growing your trainer knowledge to safely and effectively support the needs of your clients. There will be a cost involved to complete courses and/or attend events to meet the required contact hours to renew your Personal Trainer credential…with the exception of NFPT’s “Free CECs for the life of your certification” approach. We calculated the average cost to maintain your credential with other accredited certifiers, and found the minimum cost associated with a one year certification cycle. Note that some of the certification companies require hours through specific categories, so it’s important to read all Recertification handbooks to get those details. This could elevate the cost depending on the courses they provide for a specific category.
**petition fees: when taking courses outside the certifier’s approved network, a fee is typically assessed to review each submission.
