The CCS program page states the certificate is a "Lifetime certificate" — "Invest Once, Benefit for Life: Your certificate is valid forever" — with lifetime access to training, so no periodic recertification or CEU cycle is described for CCS. The 4.0 CEU / 4-year renewal cycle and $149 application fee described in the evidence apply to the separate NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT) certification, not to CCS. Completing CCS itself awards CEUs that can be applied toward other credentials.
