2012 AEA Certification Renewal Requirements
AFP Certification Renewal Policies & Procedures
- AEA Certified Aquatic Fitness Professionals are required to renew their certification every two years. Early renewals can be submitted within 6 months prior to certification if all renewal requirements are met.
- AEA Certified Aquatic Fitness Professionals must obtain a minimum of 15 AEA Approved CECs to obtain recertification. If you earn more CECs than the minimum required, they do not carry over to the next renewal period. CECs begin at Zero (0) on your next term.
- A list of AEA Approved Continuing Education Courses can be found on this website, under Education/CEC Providers/CEC Listing. AEA may issue CECs to non-approved educational programs; Petition Form can be downloaded and printed at the bottom of this page.
- AEA Certified Aquatic Fitness Professionals must maintain current and valid CPR and AED Certifications throughout the renewal term. Any and all CPR Training earns 2.0 CECs towards your AEA Certification Renewal. Any and All AED Training earns 2.0 CECs towards your AEA Certification Renewal. CPR & AED renewals can only be used one time during each two-year renewal period and are mandated courses for renewal.
- There is a $50.00 Certification Renewal Fee. This fee represents on-time renewals that are received prior to the expiration date and with complete requirements fulfilled. AEA Certified Aquatic Fitness Professionals have 60 days grace following their certification expiration date, in order to renew without paying a late fee.
- Late fees will apply if we do not receive your Certification Renewal within 60 days of expiration. From 60 days - 6 months late fee is $25.00. From 6 months to one year late fee is $50.00. After one year you may be required to take the AFPC Examination again.
Renewal Procedures
Online Renewal - It’s Simple & Easy!
- Track your CECs ONLINE! Make sure all your CECs are tracked online under the CEC Tracking area. Instructions on how to use the Online CEC Tracking can be found at the top of that page. You will receive an email that you have submitted the CECs and another email once they are approved (this can take up to 48 hours.)
