| Questions About Correspondence Courses |
|
Q. What is a correspondence course?
A. A correspondence course is a home study course that has been preapproved for continuing education credits, and allows you to obtain continuing education credits at your own pace and at your own convenience. Whether at home, or between appointments, correspondence courses give you the flexibility to obtain your CECs and keep your certification without giving up your schedule and family obligations. |
|
Q. What is involved in a correspondence course?
A. Taking a correspondence course is easy! You simply need to study the material and answer questions on a post test. All the questions are straight forward and no additional research is needed. You may use the study material to answer the questions and of course the test is taken at your convenience, in your favorite T-shirt, and in your favorite cozy little spot. |
|
Q. What do I get when I order?
A. You will receive a post test, instructions on how to complete the course, and study material in the form of a textbook. |
|
Q. What do I do when I am finished?
A. After you have completed the post test, simply mail or fax the test to us (don't forget you can now take your tests online) and keep the study materials for future reference! Make sure to write your name and correct address on top of the post test, also include your certification number. When mailing the test back, priority mail (not certified or express) is the fastest, but first class will do just fine. |
|
Q. How long does it take to get my results?
A. Once your test is received, it is graded within five business days, and your Certificate of Completion is mailed right away. Usually, the entire process takes between two and three weeks. However if you use online testing you will receive your certificate of completion instantly! |
|
Q. How do I obtain my CECs?
A. If you are certified with the American Council on Exercise, fill out the Application Renewal Form, make a copy of the Certificate of Completion and stick it in the mail to ACE. Remember to include a copy of your CPR certification also. The process is quite similar for other certifications as well. |
|
Q. What if I don't find my certifying organization listed under credits?
A. Most organizations allow you to petition courses and often accept courses that have been improved by ACE. Also, remember every .1 ACE CEC translates into an hour of study time. |
|
Q. Do I have time to complete a correspondence course if I need to recertify ASAP?
A. Yes! Most test can be completed in several hours. A general rule of thumb is for every .1 CEC, it requires approximately 1 hour of study time. If you purchase a course using a Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover delivery time is 3 to 5 days in the U.S. |
