Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Policy
CEUs are courses designed to ensure USA Triathlon Certified Coaches keep their knowledge of industry trends, technology and triathlon regulations relevant. CEUs are crucial for professional coaches to stay up-to-date with the most relevant triathlon coaching education as well as ensure each coach is well-rounded. There are two types of CEUs that USAT recognizes: USAT CEUs (courses that USAT runs or is affiliated with) and Non-USAT CEUs (courses held by outside organizations).
All USA Triathlon Certified Coaches are required to earn a minimum of 8 USAT CEUs (within the recertification CEU requirement) for recertification.
2022 CEUs
Access our courses on TriathlonLearning.com.
The 2022 Endurance Exchange can provide CEUs for recertification. Access the 2022 Endurance Exchange courses.
Become a USA Triathlon Approved CEU Provider
The purpose of the USA Triathlon (USAT) CEU Provider Program is to make additional educational opportunities available to USAT Certified Coaches. While USAT does offer its own educational opportunities, it is understood that these opportunities may not meet the preferences of all USAT Certified Coaches. Therefore, USAT offers external organizations with quality education to provide USAT CEUs for the completion of their course.
If you are a course director and would like your course to be approved for USAT CEUs, please complete the online application. Please note, for a course to be eligible for USAT CEUs the course must be available to all coaches. If you have any questions, please email Coaching at coaching@usatriathlon.org.
Benefits of becoming a USAT Approved CEU Provider include:
- Increased visibility to a wide range of professional triathlon coaches
- There are more than 2,500 USAT Certified Coaches seeking USAT CEU opportunities - these professional coaches require a minimum of 8 USAT CEUs for recertification
- Getting your course USAT CEU Approved signifies that your course meets USA Triathlons standards for continuing education
- USAT will promote your course by listing it on our website and grant the use of the USAT CEU logo in advertisements, promotions and other marketing materials
USAT reserves the right to approve or deny CEUs for any reason at any time. Providers are prohibited from promoting USAT CEU approval for their course(s) until an approval letter from USAT has been received.
