The Credential Standard
The reference for professional fitness credentials.
An independent register of fitness and coaching credentials: who issues them, whether they’re accredited, what the exam and prerequisites are, and what renewal and CEUs take. Every fact is cited to its source.
- Accreditation checked against accreditor directories such as NCCA and NBHWC
- CEU and renewal requirements from official sources
- Side-by-side credential comparisons
- Verification status based on official provider pages, not marketing claims
- Organization Mode: set role standards, track staff credentials and renewals, and review candidates
Why I built it
I hire and manage trainers across two facilities. Telling an accredited certification from a weekend certificate means digging through marketing pages. The Credential Standard does that digging once, with sources, for every coach and employer.
IAOE · Organizations define role standards, such as Personal Trainer or Performance Coach, the same distinctions IAOE draws between coach types.
