CHOOSING  ACE CERTIFICATION:

​

When choosing a career in the fitness industry, one of the most important decisions you will face is selecting which certification to pursue. Not all fitness certifications are the same. A quality fitness certification is one that enjoys widespread industry respect, is consistent with recognized certification standards and is legally defensible in a court of law.

Since its founding in 1985, ACE has certified more than 200,000 health and fitness professionals in the United States and 77 other counties. ACE certification exams are standardized, broad-based tests of the knowledge necessary to safely and effectively instruct.

​

ACE offers four fitness certifications

​

•    Personal Trainer Certification

•    Advanced Health + Fitness Specialist Certification

•    Group Fitness Instructor Certification

•    Health Coach Certification

ACE-certified Professionals are the most sought after in the world and uphold the highest standards in the fitness industry. Certification with ACE confirms your commitment to an industry-recognized standard and demonstrates a proficient level of knowledge to your clients.

​

Certification Standards:

​

ACE certification exams and study materials have been developed by leading experts (researchers and practitioners) in the fitness field.

​

NCCA Accreditation:

​

2003 ACE was granted NCCA accreditation for all of its certification programs. NCCA is the accreditation body of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). The NCCA accreditation serves as a benchmark for how organizations should conduct certification programs. The NCCA accreditation clearly distinguishes the excellence and value of ACE certification among the more than 300 fitness certification programs available to the public and discriminates between qualified and unqualified fitness professionals.

The International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) and Medical Fitness Association (MFA) recommend that club owners and medical fitness facility operators only hire fitness professionals with certifications from agencies accredited through NCCA or an equivalent accrediting organization. By upholding this standard, your ACE certification will provide you a competitive advantage when being considered as a candidate for employment with a company or organization that belongs to IHRSA.

​

Renewal:

​

To renew and maintain your certification, you must earn 2.0 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) every two years through ACE-approved courses or professional activities.

​

Personal Trainer Certification:

​

Personal training is one of the fastest growing professions in the health and fitness industry.

The American Council on Exercise’s Personal Trainer Certification is designed for fitness trainers providing any form of one-on-one or small-group fitness instruction.

The decision to pursue professional certification is an important step in being recognized as a competent practitioner in one’s discipline. By becoming ACE® certified, you will be better equipped to empower, motivate, challenge and retain your clients. In addition, ACE-certified Personal Trainers are in high demand, which is just one more reason for you to have a positive outlook regarding your future and the continued growth of your health& fitness career.

The ACE Personal Trainer Certification Curriculum is continually evaluated and updated to ensure that it includes the most current exercise science information and keeps today’s fitness professionals ahead of the competition. Upon successful completion of the ACE Personal Trainer Certification Exam, you will have demonstrated your knowledge of exercise science, nutrition, fitness assessment, exercise programming, and instructional techniques.
