Getting CECs is simple!

Please see below for a listing of pre-approved opportunities to earn your CECs.

canfitpro Conferences

Attendance at canfitpro fitness conferences or workshops are the most common method of achieving the required CECs. Our conference sessions and workshops may be accredited for more than one type of certification designation. For example, if you are FIS and PTS certified, and you attend a session or workshop that offers FIS and PTS credits, you would earn one CEC for both of your certifications (one FIS and one PTS towards recertification in one workshop). Attendance at one canfitpro conference may give you enough CECs to keep one certification current for up to two renewal periods (8.0 CECs). If you hold more than one certification designation, it may be in your best interest to look for these types of session/workshops to streamline your recertification.

Review our conference page to find a canfitpro conference near you.

canfitpro COURSES

Effective September 2005 all participants who attend certification courses will also gain valuable CECs to keep their FIS or PTS certification current. As a certified FIS or PTS you will gain 4.0 CECs when you attend any of the following certification courses: Nutrition & Wellness Specialist (NWS), Pre & Post Natal Fitness Specialist (PFS), and Older Adult Fitness Specialist (OAS).

canfitpro will automatically credit your CEC bank account with the 4.0 CECs once you complete the certification course of your choice!
