Continuing education is just that, continuing your quest to be the best by keeping up on the latest information in your field. Our profession is starting to get the recognition it deserves because our members are helping so many people improve their quality of life.
As our profession continues to grow, we will be examined even more carefully by many different "regulatory" commissions... and ISSA is committed to setting high standards of excellence for our trainers to assure the public that our members care about the safety and health of their clients. We can only assure that by requiring continuing education.
Twenty CEUs every two years is only 10 hours of education a year, which is the average for any health care practitioner. In fact, the following disciplines ALL require continuing education units in order to keep their certifications and licenses current.
Even the top neurosurgeons in the world with Ph.D and MD degrees are not exempt from CEUs unless they're a full time professor, so why shouldn't an exercise physiologist or personal trainer keep his education up annually?
All Online CEU courses below feature secured online enrollment, online exam, instant grading and a printable certificate after passing the course. Some fitness certification courses do not feature online exams yet. Contact an ISSA enrollment representative for details.
The ISSA is proud to announce a powerful alliance with Desert Southwest Fitness offering 90+ additional CEU courses. These Home Study CEU Courses feature numerous methods of completing your ISSA CEU requirements, from mailed educational materials to online courses - and a majority feature online exams.
