What are CANFITPRO CEC Courses?
Continuing Education Credits (CECs) are points you earn to maintain your Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification.
A CANFITPRO CEC Course means the course is run by a CANFITPRO-approved provider, and that provider has registered the course with CANFITPRO for a pre-approved number of CECs.
Each hour of learning equals 0.1 CEU.
For example, a 10-hour course would earn you 1.0 CEUs.
CANFITPRO CEUs ensure your continuing education meets the CANFITPRO’s quality standards and counts directly toward your recertification.

What is a CANFITPRO approved CEC Provider?

How many CECs do I need?
To renew your CANFITPRO certification, you need 4.0 CEUs within the last years. CANFITPRO requires to complete a canfitpro CPR course or submit certificate from a live CPR course.

What Our Students Say
Thank you very much !
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.
-Jen Rosen
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.
