Thanks Joanne!!!!

Can i know the reason why????

Thanks so much!!

Octavio.

Wish I knew more. That is all the information IDEA has expressed on this portal.

I wish you the best!

I use to have AFAA but let it expire because it wasn’t an accredited certification through NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies) as the other big name certifications are (i.e. NASM, NSCA, ASCM, ACE). From what I was told through my professors in college is that the certifying organizations who became accredited through NCCA went through a tougher process then those who didn’t, thus making them more credible.

My guess is that IDEA may only want credible fitness certifications on their list to choose from.

Jon, there are certification bodies on this portal who are not NCCA accredited yet one can have their credentials verified. WITS is one of them.
