Earn ACSM CECs by earning another ACSM certification
The ACSM Committee on Certification and
Registry Boards, the governing committee for ACSM certification, has
approved the awarding of ACSM CECs to currently certified professionals
for earning new ACSM certifications.
ACSM CECs can be applied if you earned the new
ACSM certification during your renewal period. For example, if
your renewal period is from 1/1/2007 to 12/31/2009 and you earned an
ACSM specialty certification, you can apply those credits to your total
due for renewal.
ACSM CECs are awarded as follows:
Certified Personal Trainer: 10 CECs
Certified Health Fitness Specialist: 15 CECs
Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist: 15 CECs
Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist: 15 CECs
ACSM Specialty Certifications
Certified Inclusive Fitness Trainer: 10 CECs
Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer: 10 CECs
Physical Activity in Public Health Specialist: 10 CECs
CECs can be earned regardless of what
certification you have at the time of your renewal period. For
example, if you are a Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist and earn
the ACSM Certified Personal Trainer certification, you can apply the
credits. Current eligibility requirements do apply, so make sure
you are eligible for the exam before participating.
ACSM will not be tracking the awarded CECs in
your CEC history record on your ACSM account, however, you can search
under your exam history if you login to your "My ACSM" account
on-line.
Note: Certifications earned from other
certifying organizations cannot be used for ACSM certification
renewal.
