Certificates
Certificates will be sent out upon successful completion of a course. Certificates are normally sent 4-6 weeks after the exam return deadline. Replacement or extra certificates will be issued for $10.00 each.
Recertification
Keeping abreast of the latest developments in sport and fitness is one of the responsibilities of a fitness professional. At SPI we feel that continuing education is a fundamental part of any certification program. We also understand that many people have multiple certifications with continuing education and recertification requirements. To maintain an SPI certification, you must pay an annual registration fee of $25.00 and attend one fitness or sport workshop, clinic, seminar, or conference. The due date for the registration fee is one year from the date of the last SPI certification course successfully completed.
Removal of Certification
A high level of professionalism should be maintained at all times. Sport Performance Institute reserves the right to remove the certification of any individual who:
- Fails to meet the recertification requirements
- Engage in any illegal activity
- Misrepresents their level credentials
- Consistently acts in a manner that is unprofessional
