Procedure for Approving Category 2 CEUs (NON-IYCA Programming CEUs)
Purpose:
The CEU Provider Program is a tool for reaching professionals and experts world-wide. The provider of a CEU-approved event or activity will benefit by contributing significantly to the overall success of the event.
Here are a few reasons to consider applying to the IYCA CEU Provider Program:
- Credibility
Receiving approval increases the stature of your educational event or activity because it signifies that it represents the standards of the IYCA for continuing education. The IYCA is the only organization that focuses on pediatric fitness and performance. - Access to Market
In order for the IYCA credentialed to remain in good standing, they must acquire 12-16 CEUs in a two year period. As a CEU Provider Program, you will draw the interest of many IYCA Credentialed individuals looking to fill their required CEUs. - Promotional Assistance
The IYCA assists with the promotion of your event or activity through Web exposure on The IYCA CEU Provider Site.

CEUs are awarded for hours of education only. Workout sessions, lunch breaks, registration, social gatherings, or other breaks are not considered hours of education and will not qualify for CEU designation.
