Random Auditing Process - Eligibility Requirements
All candidates who successfully
complete an ACSM certification exam are subject to an audit to confirm
their eligibility. ACSM audits a minimum of 15% of candidates
every year. Candidates can expect to be audited in the month
following their examination.
ACSM will contact the candidate
with notification of the audit and the appropriate steps to complete the
necessary documentation to prove eligibility. All documentation is
due within 30 days of the request by ACSM.
If the eligibility requirements
include an academic degree, the candidate will need to provide an
official transcript. If the eligibility requirements include hours
of experience, a form will be provided by ACSM to be completed by the
candidate and a letter by the candidate’s supervisor verifying the
experience will need to be submitted as part of the verification
process.
ACSM will contact the audited
candidate by mail, therefore it is imperative that candidates keep their
address and contact information updated with ACSM. Once the audit
is complete and eligibility confirmed, ACSM will mail a certification
packet to the newly certified professional.
ACSM reserves the right to revoke
the credential of any individual that cannot verify their eligibility as
part of the ACSM audit verification process.
