Continued education units
The continuing education units are units that you earn from continuing education programs. Credits for continuing education are given to college courses completed within a specific timeframe. These courses must be accredited and a transcript indicating a passing grade is required. Each college credit earned is worth 1 CEU. CEUs also include professional development activities. These activities include professional presentations and industry committee work. These activities could lead to individual earning up five CEUs.
The NCSF requires that all exercise professionals must recertify at least every two-years. This is necessary to ensure compliance with the current standards, code and any new data. For CEUS to renew NCSF certification, individuals must complete a minimum of 10 continuing education units. A recognized institution must have earned continuing education credits. This can be done through an NCSF approved course. The applicant can appeal against the NCSF's refusal to approve a course.
Exam fee
Recertification can be applied for through NCSF if you want to keep you credential current. Recertification fees are $75 for one credential, and $100 for multiple. You can submit your application online and wait 3 to 5 business days for NCSF to process it. Your credential status will then be updated, and will remain valid up to two years. Your recertification package will include a new ID card and updated certificate, as well as information about future CEUs.
Prometric offers the NCSF exam. You can make an appointment online or in person at a testing center. You can also take the exam in a remote location if you have an internet connection. The exam contains 150 multiple choice questions. The cost of the exam will vary depending on where you take it. The NCSF may charge a slightly different fee if you choose to take your exam at a Prometric testing center.
Special populations covered
A majority of fitness certifications provide basic guidelines for training people with special needs, such as pregnant women and those with chronic diseases. The NCSF does not have a comprehensive chapter on the subject. In one 15-page chapter, the NCSF covers only a few special populations - diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and working with children. The rest is basic information that isn't discussed in any depth. This leaves trainers scratching there heads.
