How this fits your recertification
NASM-CPT recertification requires 2.0 CEUs, or 20 contact hours, every two years. AFAA requires 1.5 CEUs over the same period. This course covers 0.5 of that, so it is part of a recertification cycle rather than the whole of it.
What the course covers
Most certifications teach you how to train people and stop there. This one covers the business:
- Pricing online training, and what to charge when you cannot sell hours in a gym
- Finding clients online, and turning enquiries into paying clients
- Delivering coaching over video so that it works as well as in person
- Retention: why online clients quit, and what keeps them
- Running the business itself, including scope of practice and professional responsibility
What you get
- Twelve self-paced modules, roughly five hours of study, no time limit
- A 75-question final examination, 80% to pass, retakes allowed
- A certificate of completion as a PDF, carrying your name, the provider number and the CEU value, ready to submit for recertification
- A boost in the StayPrime trainer directory
Cost and refunds
$35 as a one-time purchase, or included at no extra cost with StayPrime Pro at $45 per month. Full refund at any time before you start the final exam.
Is this a certification?
No. This is continuing education that awards a certificate of completion. It builds on the certification you already hold and does not replace it.
