What is Recertification?
ACSM’s credentialing programs encourage ongoing competency and continuing education and strive to maintain a high standard for our certified and registered professionals. Therefore, all ACSM credentialed professionals are required to recertify or renew their credentials. The requirements for maintaining an ACSM credential vary by level, but all professionals who are ACSM certified or members of the Registry for Clinical Exercise Physiologists are required to earn a specific amount of continuing education credits (CECs) during their certification/registry cycle. Along with this educational component, ACSM charges a nominal administrative fee for recertification/renewal.
