IYCA's stated CEU policy: "IYCA Certificates no longer require CEUs. This means that your IYCA Certificates will not expire." No renewal cycle, CEU total, or renewal fee applies. The Sport Coach Essentials Course is a customizable live/virtual course delivered to schools, clubs, and organizations; optional follow-on Sport Coach Education Workshops exist for continued development but are not framed as a recertification requirement. Digital certificate of completion issued after finishing required content/quizzes; course access is stated as lifetime.
