Random Auditing Process - Eligibility
Requirements
All candidates who successfully
complete an ACSM certification exam are subject to an audit to confirm
their eligibility, and/or the status of their CPR
certification.
Every month, 25% of candidates
who received a passing score in the previous month for the ACSM
Health/Fitness Instructor® and ACSM Exercise
Specialist® credential will be audited for completion of
an academic degree using a third party vendor. If a degree cannot
be confirmed using the third party vendor, ACSM will contact the
candidate and request an official transcript noting the completed
degree. Transcripts must be submitted within 30 days of the
request by ACSM.
The same 25% of candidates who
are audited for the ACSM Exercise Specialist® credential
will need to complete clinical documentation form within 30 days of
being audited for their exam. 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
clinical hours are submitted, ACSM will mail a certification packet to
the newly certified professional.
Additionally, candidates who
received a passing score on any ACSM certification exam in the previous
month may be audited to verify current CPR certification. If contacted
in this regard, candidates must provide documentation of their current
CPR status within 30 days of the request by ACSM.
ACSM reserves the right to
revoke the credential of any individual that cannot verify their
eligibility and/or their current CPR certification as part of the ACSM
audit verification process.
