Hi Delmar,

Yes! You have a completed and extensive profile that will serve you well. It lists not only your certifications, but all of your other wonderful accomplishments and reviews. Some agencies are like that with verification, but I vote for you keeping your profile.

Best,
Christine

Hi Delmar,

even though some agencies do not want to be associated with IDEA, you should still list your credentials. You have the opportunity in your profile description to elaborate on it if you like. I know it looks unsatisfactory to have an “Agency unavailable” indicator but as long as your other certifications are verified, I would not have any problem as a consumer.

Most definitely. I had several things on my profile that took some time to get verified. But I just kept trying to get them verified. Eventually they all did get verified, not sure how or why.

But several people have contacted me through the fitness connect system. None of them mentioned the “unverified” status certifications. I actually asked the ones that have become clients if that was a worry for them. All said “no”, they assumed it was some sort of IDEA issue, not that the certs weren’t valid.

Hello Delmar Carey,
No worries; list all your credentials, they are beneficial accomplishments. You could contact all parties involved, which may end up in your favor and open someone’s eyes to a new opportunity.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
