Renewal & CEU requirements
The Functional Wellness Course is explicitly stated to be "not a certification course," so no credential recertification cycle applies. FMS states CEs are profession-dependent and listed per course; learners submit a Certificate of Completion plus a Cover Letter (listing FMS approving boards) to their own licensing board. Separately, the optional FMS Academy membership (which bundles online courses) is a one-year subscription renewable at $200/year — a product subscription, not a credential renewal.
