This fall, join top experts for an in-depth look into periodization. Designed for experienced practitioners, this virtual clinic will add to your skills and knowledge to implement high-level programs with your athletes.

First, thanks to thousands of you who have taken the time to respond to periodic questions we’ve sent your way. Our goal in this process has been to use your feedback to make the NSCA a better organization. We have followed up on that feedback with phone calls to many of you in order to better understand your needs and challenges. We want to continue this process and provide routine updates on some of the changes we have made to better serve your needs.

To maintain an NSCA certification, all certified individuals must complete a certain number of Continuing Education Units (CEUs), every three years. Earning CEUs mean certificants stay current on evolving knowledge and skills in the profession, and promote the ongoing competency of those certified.
