What are ACE CEC Courses?

Continuing Education Credits (CECs) are points you earn to maintain your Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification.

A ACE CEC Course means the course is run by a ACE-approved provider, and that provider has registered the course with ACE for a pre-approved number of CECs.

Each hour of learning equals 0.1 CECs.
For example, a 10-hour course would earn you 1.0 CECs.

ACE CECs ensure your continuing education meets the American Council on Exercise’s quality standards and counts directly toward your recertification.

What is a ACE approved CEC Provider?​

An ACE-Approved Provider is an organization that has met ACE’s quality standards for continuing education. Completing courses from an approved provider ensures your CECs are automatically accepted toward recertification—saving you the hassle of submitting extra paperwork.

How many CECs do I need?​

To renew your ACE certification, you need 2.0 CEUs (20 hours) every two years. ACE requires that 0.1 CEU (1 hour) comes from CPR/AED certification, with the remaining 1.9 CEUs earned through approved continuing education courses.

Just finished the Mobility Level 1 course with JP. I learned so much. As a 63 year old, this info is invaluable. I’m already using what I learned for myself as well as my clients. High recommend!
I'm an NASM CPT, and was so happy to find curriculum on Kettlebells for my CEU's. I love using Kettlebell training for myself and my clients, so learning even more about Kettlebell techniques and training tips is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Fitness Education Online!!
The course was very thorough and the instructors were clear on their instructions and demonstrations.
I recently completed the 'Training Older Adults 1' course, and I found it incredibly valuable. The content was well-structured, evidence-based, and packed with practical strategies that I could immediately apply with my clients. Highly recommend it to any fitness professional looking to specialize in this growing area!
Overall, I have completed two certifications with FEO: Training Older Adults and Mobility Essentials. The content is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Both have given me the necessary ceus I need for NASM and AFAA. Highly recommend.
Hi, my name is Daniela and it is my 2nd and respectively 3rd time I am opting for a course from Fitness Education online ! Very well structured and comprehensive courses and very easy to digest. Highly recommended. Kettlebell Bundle was a breeze to go through , very informative too.
Thank you very much !
My first day back at work, after taking the Training Older Adult course, I felt much more confident coaching & guiding seniors with arthritis and osteoporosis.
Informative, practical and results driven.
Very informative and fun courses. I’ve now completed 4 (resistance band training, training females level 1&2, and pre- and post-natal training) and have enjoyed all of them. I can listen to the courses while commuting, and go back and listen as many times as I need. The courses are also affordable which is a bonus! LETS GO BLUE JAYS!! ⚾️⚾️
The Special Populations Level 1course was very well presented, easy to follow especially being self paced!
I have used fitness education online as a way to obtain my CEC credits. I completed both the kettlebell one and two courses. The courses were easy to navigate with minimal reading and lots of video technique. Assessments were not written, but interactive by demonstrating what you have learned with kettlebells. I will definitely be continuing to use this company for further CEC credits.
I have been on the fitness industry for about 8 years now. I have taken two courses through Online education, Resistance band essentials and now I just completed Female Training Specialist - Level 1

I found both courses to be beneficial from the amount of information and the practical aspects shown in the courses. The presenters and instructors are top notch.

I would recommend either courses to those new to the industry and also those who might want to expand their skill set.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the presenters and materials covered in Programming Essentials for Fitness Professionals. Each section had good and clear information and examples to draw from. I look forward to continuing these online offerings to supplement the in-person classes I am taking through Canfit Pro. Thanks
Learned a lot from the various speakers/trainers from the Programming Essentials course package. Would recommend if you want to learn about programming for different goals
I’ve been in the fitness industry for 15 years, and am constantly looking for new ways to improve the lives of clients through fitness. I happened to stumble across FEO on fb and I could have been more lucky to find this amazing resource ! I took the Programming Essentials level 1 and 2 and found it so informative and well put together. Every year the industry changes and with that so should the way we approach training. These courses are clear concise and very well formatted. I recommend them to new and old trainers alike as well as fitness enthusiasts and athletes 🙂
I have been in the industry for 7 years. I found a wide selection of courses to complete my CEC’s. I have taken two so far, the latest was Training Female Clients level 1. I love how the courses are online and our self-paced. The mini quizzes in between were fantastic to make sure I am comprehending the information given correctly. These courses are fantastic for anyone who needs to Get there CEC’s Or just for more information on a subject.

-Jen Rosen
I completed both Mobility Essentials Level 1 and Level 2, and I found the information extremely valuable.

I’m genuinely interested in these topics and currently reading Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, so it was especially useful to receive practical applications of the concepts — structured flows and actionable movement strategies that can be implemented immediately.

The instructor presented the material in a very structured way, while keeping the tone engaging and slightly playful, which made the learning process enjoyable rather than overly academic or dry.

I also appreciated the additional materials provided alongside the course.

If I had to suggest one improvement, I would say that incorporating more visual aids could enhance the learning experience even further. That said, this did not affect the quality or value of the content itself. Perhaps we are simply becoming accustomed to increasingly high production standards in online education.

Overall, it was a very worthwhile experience, and I’m glad I took both levels.
I’m from southeastern Ohio in the US. I’ve been a CPT for about 4 years. I just finished the Training Older Adults Level 1 course. I appreciated the practical examples of what exercises to use and the many modifications available, not just theory! Surprisingly this course would be great for most trainers that work in the community setting, even if seniors aren’t your main clients. There were applications for injuries, kids, seniors, differently abled individuals, and those new to fitness, etc!
