I recently got my personal training certificate through AFAA and one of the reason I went with them is because, they offered it on-line and also because I liked what I say on there website. I am a busy business owner and mother and I know that when it comes time to re-new my Continuing Education Courses I will do it on-line, because that works for my and my busy life. Thank you AFAA for making it so easy to stay on top of what’s cutting edge in the fitness industry. Stacy Rae Mednick CPT

Hi Sarah,
The best way to get your CEU’s are to take the AFAA home study course which is always offered through their magazine. Online and AFAA workshops are also good. The way that I get the majority of my CEU/CEC’s for all my certifications is through IDEA’s World Conference, which is in Los Angeles this August.
Please keep in mind that most Certification Organizations do require you to do 2 – 5 additional CEU/CEC’s that are directly through them.
