Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CEU?
CEUs are contact hours of education. 1 CEU of IYCA Programming = 1 Contact hour; 0.5 CEU of Non-IYCA Programming = 1 Contact Hour
Why do I need CEUs now?
The IYCA has instituted a continuing education policy to ensure that all our certified members stay current with the changing landscape of youth fitness and performance enhancement. By instituting a requirement that all certified members remain in good standing and actively pursue further knowledge in the field, we can ensure that all credential holders are active in the field, thereby increasing the perceived value of your IYCA credential in the field.
How many CEUs do I need to get to remain in good standing?
12 CEUs
What IYCA Products qualify for CEUs and how many CEUs do I get for each?
All IYCA products that have an associated CEU value will be designated as such. Usually, IYCA Certifications are worth 12 CEUs, IYCA Instructor Courses are worth 6 CEUs, IYCA Crash Courses are worth 3 CEUs, and other items vary depending upon requirements.
