Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Policy
Level I Certified Coaches must earn 15 CEUs for recertification during their two year certification period. Level II and Level III Certified Coaches must earn 20 CEUs during their two year certification period for recertification. Five of these CEUs must come from a USAT course (USAT CEUs) as found on the CEU Schedule below. Below are additional opportunities for USAT CEUs.
If you are a course director and would like your course to be approved for USAT CEUs, please complete the online application and view the approval benefits. If you have any questions, please email the Coaching Education Assistant Manager.
All USAT Approved CEU courses will be evaluated using standards that take the following into consideration:
- Length of the course
- Format of the course (lecture, practical, online, etc.)
- USAT Certified Coach presenters
- Topics being covered
Because of the change in evaluation, some courses may receive a different number of CEUs than in years past. We believe enforcing this new evaluation standard will create a more consistent approval process that can applied impartially to every application.
CEUs will not be awarded to courses that are deemed to be in direct competition with existing USAT programs. Examples include webinars, symposiums, mentorship programs, and triathlon coaching certification programs among others.
