FAQs

The CEC Power Pass is an easy, affordable way to complete your CECs while growing your knowledge and career—no matter what your professional goals are. It’s designed for all certified health and fitness professionals, including those certified through organizations outside of ACE. It’s also a great option for professionals with expired certifications who are looking for a fast, cost-effective way to get back on track with renewal.

The CEC Power Pass gives you access to over 120 ACE courses, including top ACE Specialist Programs and CPR/AED certification (CPR/AED available to U.S. and Canada only at this time). New courses are added regularly, so you can continue learning, expand your knowledge, and earn CECs at the same time.

As you complete courses, CECs are automatically applied toward your renewal requirements. The membership also includes valuable extras like a free credential renewal voucher, discounts on ACE and partner certifications, free registration for ACE virtual Health & Fitness summits, and easy access to track your progress in one convenient place.

Once you purchase CEC Power Pass, simply login to your My ACE Account. You can then browse the CEC Power Pass course catalog and redeem any eligible courses. Once redeemed, all courses will be available to you directly in your My ACE Account under online courses.

No. As long as your CEC Power Pass membership is active, you can complete as many eligible courses and programs as you’d like.

Yes. All CECs earned through the CEC Power Pass count toward renewal requirements. ACE Certified Professionals also receive a free renewal voucher.

If you are certified through an organization outside of ACE, we recommend checking with your certification provider to confirm which courses are eligible for credit. ACE courses are widely accepted by many organizations, including National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM), Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFFA), the California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN), and many others.

You will have access to all courses throughout your 24-month membership. If your membership expires, you’ll lose access to any courses you haven’t completed. Renewing your membership allows you to continue accessing courses and picking up right where you left off.

Once you’ve completed all renewal requirements and start your renewal, the voucher will be automatically applied, and you won’t be charged at checkout.

You will receive an email from ResusciTech with instructions on how to download the App. Make sure that you sign up using the email address associated with your MyACE Account. Please note that currently the ResusciTech CPR/AED Smart Certification App is only available in the US & Canada.

ACE CEC Power Pass offers two convenient payment options: you can make a one-time payment or choose monthly payments spread over a 24-month period. Please refer to the pricing details shown on this page for more information.

Yes! New courses are added every month, covering a wide range of topics such as personal training, group fitness, health coaching, nutrition, corrective exercise, and more.

The CEC Power Pass includes one complimentary renewal voucher. If you hold additional certifications, you can still use unlimited course access to earn CECs for those credentials, with only the standard renewal fees applying.

The CEC Power Pass does not automatically renew when your membership period ends. If you choose not to renew, you will still receive credit for any courses you completed. However, you’ll lose access to any courses you haven’t finished, and all remaining membership benefits, including access to courses and specialist programs, free online summits, and renewal vouchers.

The CEC Power Pass is designed as a 24-month program to support consistent learning and renewal. For that reason, the commitment cannot be paused, canceled, or transferred once started.
