CPR/First Aid requirements
CPR (Level A, C, HCP or BLS) training is required for all Fitness Alberta certified group exercise professionals. CPR cards issued for more than 1 year must be issued within the last 24 months in order to be valid for certification and recertification; the expiry date for cards issued for over 1 year does not affect these requirements.
*Please note: CPR must be valid within the 24 month timeframe for more than 3 weeks after your certification date to be valid for certification. If you are submitting renewal documents late, CPR must be valid for more than 3 weeks after your documents are received and verified as complete.
Standard or Emergency First Aid training and CPR is required for all Fitness Alberta Certified Personal Fitness Trainers.
