Abstract
Apply It! • Increase knowledge about frequently conflated terminology: accreditation, certification, and licensure. Use this knowledge to educate clients about your credentials. • Discover what certifications are available from accredited programs and learn how to get your name listed on a national registry of fitness professionals. • Recommendations provided to both fitness employees and fitness managers can help lead to increased credibility for the profession even without state licensure.
