If you are looking to re-enter the workforce, it might be nice to take a certification as a refresher anyway.

The NFPT site doesn’t discussed lapsed certifications in its renewal section. Here is the phone number from their site:

Go to your NFPT My Services account and see “CEC Resource Center” to renew your certification or to submit CEC documentation.

OR, Call us at 800-729-6378…we’re happy to help!

A lot has changed in 10 years. But a lot is still the same. I would take another cert course. If you liked the first one you took, go with it again. If not, I would suggest ACSM, ACE, NSCA, or NASM. Those four are the most widely recognized and respected from what I have found.

Hi David,

I agree with the others – check in with the NFPT about that. Ten years sounds like a problem though. Hopefully it works out for you.

Hello David Johnson,
Like Karin says, check with NFPT; but, probably not. The good news is, you have a head start. It is easier to maintain a certification than to let it expire.
Take care,

Hi David,

after 10 years, the chances are slim that there is a way to re-certify without retaking it but you need to check that with NFPT directly.
