Renew your continuing education requirements and gain valuable health, nutrition, and fitness knowledge to grow your business and expertise. GMP Fitness® is widely recognized and accepted as one of the foremost Continuing Education Course Providers by over 30 leading certification companies, both currently and in the past.

Approval is a sign that the program’s curriculum meets rigorous academic requirements and standards. If you are unsure whether your certification organization approves a course, please contact us before purchasing—or follow the steps below to get more information.

If you are considering enrolling in a GMP Fitness® continuing education course that has not yet been formally approved by your certification company but is relevant to your certification, you have several options:

1. Contact Your Certification Organization: Reach out directly to your certification body to inquire about the possibility of getting the course approved for continuing education credits (CECs/CEUs).
2. Request Pre-Approval: Some certification organizations offer a pre-approval process for courses not already listed. Submit the course information and syllabus for review.
3. Submit for Post-Completion Approval: After completing the course, you may be able to submit your certificate and course details for consideration of credit.
4. Contact GMP Fitness®: Our team is available to assist you if your certification company is not listed or if approval is pending. Email info@gmpfitness.com or support.

Continuing Education Credits/Units Steps

Step 1

Some certification organizations, even if they do not independently approve GMP Fitness® Courses, may accept those courses as continuing education if they are already approved by a widely recognized certification company accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

For example, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) may accept continuing education credits (CECs) from GMP Fitness® Courses if those courses are approved by other major fitness organizations such as ISSA, NASM, NSCA, AFAA, and similar NCCA-accredited bodies—even if ACSM is not explicitly listed. Many other certifying organizations have similar policies.

If your organization is not listed, it is a good idea to check their guidelines or contact them directly to confirm their acceptance policy regarding courses approved by other NCCA-accredited certifying bodies.
