Certification Renewal

The purpose of certification renewal is to encourage our members to continue to stay educated in the newest research and techniques in the field, and to re-affirm the fitness safety principles that they learned in their initial certification.

Renewal Procedures for AAAI/ISMA

Your initial certification is valid for 2 years following your original certification date. After your initial certification expires you will need to renew your certification every year.

There are 2 requirements to renew a certification:

• 8 Continuing Education Credits (CEC’s)
• Payment of the $20 renewal fee

Attendance of any of our workshops or conferences earns 8 CEC’s. Members are not required to take the exam at the end of the workshop to obtain CEC’s. Obtaining 8 CEC’s will allow you to renew all of your certifications.

You must earn at least 8 CEC’s every year in order to renew. The 8 CEC’s
will renew all of your expiring certifications through AAAI/ISMA. All of the
AAAI/ISMA Conferences and workshops are worth 8 CEC’s.

Approximately 2-4 weeks before your certification expires, please send
the following in to our office at:

AAAI/ISMA
