Recertification
Requirements
AFTA requires recertification every two years.
You have a choice of two options for renewal.
Option One:
Continuing education courses from the list of
courses shown below. To ensure that you receive your
renewal certificate prior to the date of expiration on your current
certificate, you need to have both courses
successfully completed prior to 30 days before the date of
expiration on your certificate; otherwise, you will be operating
on an expired certificate until you complete the required CEUs shown
below for each certification.
** Sports Nutrition certification renewal must be
through a nutrition CEC.
Option Two:
If you prefer an additional certification within
your current certified field rather
than just a renewal of your current one by CECs, you can enroll in
another one of our courses shown at
www.aftacertification.com/Certifications.htm . When the
additional certification course is successfully
completed, we will issue the certification in
that field of study PLUS issue a renewal of your
current certificate.
NOTE: Before the renewed fitness
training certificate is mailed to you, we need proof of current CPR
training. Exception: CPR proof is not required
for those who only have a certification in nutrition and/or youth
fitness training. Proof can be provided either by mailing a
copy to AFTA, P O Box 253, Ripley, TN 38063 or by sending it
via an email attachment to aftasupport@bellsouth.net.
CEC Selections
shown below:
The CEC
selections below are home study
courses. We chose this method so you could have a book and/or
CDs/DVDs for continued reference
to that information. Order
the required number of courses pertaining to your certification.
Exams for each course contain up to 40 multiple
choice questions. Each of our
CECs has a value of 7 CEUs.
Please monitor
your emails for the shipping information after you order!
