To maintain your NASM Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) credential, you need to recertify every two years. This ensures that you stay current with industry standards and continue to grow as a fitness professional. Here’s what the process looks like:
Complete Continuing Education Units (CEUs):
You’ll need 2.0 NASM CEUs (20 contact hours) within your two-year certification cycle.
At least 0.1 CEU (1 contact hour) must be in CPR/AED certification, which must be kept current.
The remaining CEUs can be earned through NASM-approved courses, workshops, specialisations, or approved outside providers.
Submit Recertification Application:
Once your CEUs are completed, log in to your NASM account and submit your recertification application online.
Provide proof of CEUs and your current CPR/AED certification.
Pay the Recertification Fee:
A 2-year recertification fee applies. NASM also offers Recertify for Life (RFL), which allows you to pay once and recertify without future renewal fees.
Meet Deadlines:
Recertification is due every two years from the date you originally earned your NASM-CPT.
Late submissions may incur additional fees, so it’s best to submit early.
By staying on top of your CEUs and CPR renewal, recertification becomes a straightforward process. It’s also a great opportunity to expand your knowledge, specialise in new areas, and continue delivering safe and effective training to your clients.
