20 or 2.0(depending on the organization) unless its NESTA which is 4.0 because they only require every 4 years.

Most cerfitication renewals will award 1.0 (or 0.1) for CPR/AED.

Check carefully the fine print of the organization you are cerfitied with. Some of them require that you obtain come of the CeCs through them.

Hi Rhonda. There is no one answer to your question. The number of CEU's you need will depend upon the organization that you are certified through. Check on their website or give them a call. When checking, also make sure that you check on which CEU courses etc. they will accept toward your certification renewal. Like the number of CEU's needed, the CEU courses that are acceptable for your certifications are also determined by your certifying agency.

I hope this helps.

Hello Rhonda! The best thing to do is for you to contact your organization . For a NSCA PT certification, for example, you will need 6 CEUs, while ACSM, requires over 40. NSCA will also give you .5 CEU for CPR/AED certification.
