FAQ's
What counts as CEU's?
Continuing Education Units (CEU's) can be any of the following:
1) Other WEFNA courses (submit the certificate as documentation)
2) Other organization courses (i.e. ACSM, ACE, AFAA, NSCA, NASM)
3) College courses in the Health, Nutrition, Exercise disciplines (submit college transcript as documentation)
4) Conferences attended in the Health, Nutrition, Exercise disciplines (submit program book, email registration, CEU form)
5) Any other course/workshop/presentation/conference you feel has added to your knowledge or expertise (submit a receipt or certificate of attendance)
How many CEU's do I need?
If your original certification was a 16-hour course, you will need 15 hours of CEU's to recertify.
If your original certification was an 8-hour course, you will need 7 hours of CEU's to recertify.
How do CEU hours work?
Every hour that you spend in class, at a workshop, or at a conference counts hour for hour. For example, you attended a 2-hour healthy cooking class, that gives you 2 CEU's.
College courses work a little different. Each college course CREDIT hour counts as 1 CEU.
For example, KIN 4351 counts as 3 CEU's as it is a 3-hour credit course.
