All CSEP certified members must renew their membership annually
to maintain their active membership status with the CSEP Health _ Fitness
Program. The renewal fee also covers your insurance for one
year, listing on the Health _ Fitness Program webpage as a
Service Provider, and the CSEP Health _ Fitness Program BC
newsletter. All memberships expire on March 31st of the
following year.
**All renewals must be accompanied by:
-
proof of current (within the past 12 months) CPR
certification,

completed insurance questionnaire,
-
cheque for the renewal amount payable to CSEP Health _
Fitness Program BC.

Do I need to buy CSEP insurance if I have
insurance for Personal Training already?
-
Yes. You cannot be registered with the Health _ Fitness
Program without insurance covering the Scope of Practice of
advanced CSEP-certifications.
CSEP has set the Health _ Fitness Program level of insurance
as the minimum requirement. Most Personal Training insurance
does not cover you for fitness appraisals and may not provide as
much liability coverage as is necessary.
For further insurance questions contact the CSEP Health _
Fitness Program in BC.
What happens if I do not renew my CSEP certification on an
annual basis?
top
- If you do
not renew your CSEP certification on an annual basis you will
not be covered by CSEP insurance, cannot use the title of a CSEP-certified
health and fitness professional, and will no longer receive
membership benefits. Individuals not renewing
their certification within a two year period will be required to
complete the examination procedures for the respective CSEP
certification to have it re-instated.
