Deadline rule
Certification valid 2 years; may renew up to 6 months before expiration while keeping original date. Renewing after the expiration date incurs a $20 late fee; 6-month grace period after expiration, after which the certification is forfeited and the course must be retaken (or an extension applied for).

Must submit 20 hours of CECs earned after the certification's renewal date; excess hours above 20 do not carry over to the next period. CPR credits are not accepted toward the 20 CECs and a CPR card copy is no longer required. CECs may be earned at MANIA conventions, other SCW live/online certifications, SCW Approved Providers, or accredited college/university fitness-related courses. Renewal handled via SCW certification renewal form (separate form for multiple certifications); documentation of CECs must be retained.
