Certifications

Our programs enable certification through Canadian Fitness Education Service (CFES). This is a nationally recognized certification that is valid in Canada.

Steps for Certification

Please refer to the CERTIFICATION page for an outline of which courses to take and in what order. Each course consists of one or several dates that must be attended. Zoom classes are recorded and students will receive the recordings if they miss a class or cannot attend the classes at the scheduled time. In any case, each student is required to keep up with the content and any homework assignments.

Certification Renewal

Students will receive a renewal reminder email from CFES one to two months prior to expiry. Please make sure your current email is on file and refer to the CFES website for renewal requirements.

Workshops & Renewal Credits

Workshops are not needed to achieve certification but are required to maintain it. CFES students will need to log 8 continuing education credits per year.  We offer a variety of online workshops and webinars for both Group Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers. In addition to Re-Certification Workshops, students can obtain renewal credits by taking an Instructor Course such as Weight Training, Group Fitness or Personal Training. Each course is worth 16 credits.

First Aid

Every certified fitness instructor is required to hold a valid Standard First Aid and CPR certificate for employment purposes.  This certification is valid for 3 years in most companies.

Working Abroad

CFES Certification is recognized within Canada and cross-transfer forms are available for training outside of Canada.  

Insurance

All instuctors and trainers need to be insured when they start working. CFES recommends HUB International Insurance Brokers.
