NSCA Recertified with Distinction (*D)

Step 1: Complete 10 CEU from NSCA CEU Opportunities

• In order to recertify with distinction, you must first complete the standard recertification requirements (report CEUs in 2 different categories and pay recertification fee).
• The 10 NSCA CEUs of NSCA activity are not pro-rated during the first recertification cycle, like the standard recertification CEUs are. Example: If you earn a certification during 2022, you are required to report a pro-rated amount of CEUs (2.0) and pay a pro-rated recertification fee. You are still required to report 10 NSCA CEU, regardless of certification date, when applying for *D.
• Category maximums do not apply after standard recertification has been met.
• If you hold more than one NSCA certification, additional NSCA CEUs will be required.

Step 2: Select *D fee option on the Recertification Fee Payment page (add hyperlink) & Pay the additional fee

• You will need to select the *D fee option on the CEU reporting page, after meeting the *D requirements.
• Recertification with Distinction is free for members, or $25 for non-members.
• The *D fee is an additional fee from the recertification fee.

*D will take effect at the beginning of the new certification cycle (January every 3 years).
