ACE Certifications are
NCCA-accredited
The health and fitness industry is largely unregulated and unfortunately anyone can claim to be an exercise professional or health coach. To support the integrity of our industry and in keeping with standards of practice among other healthcare professionals, all our primary certification programs hold accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
The nation's most respected thinkers in health and fitness agree that NCCA accreditation is the gold standard when it comes to accreditation of programs that certify professionals working in healthcare, fitness, wellness and other occupations.
All certifications are not created equal
BE WARY! There are more than 100 respectable organizations, fly-by-night operators and providers of "overnight credentials" that are not accredited at all, do little to prepare you for a lasting career and may not be accepted by employers. Make sure to do your research!
