This means that you will need to petition and provide information regarding these courses. This way, they can decide whether it counts as CEC or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that out of the way, there are 2 ways you can submit your CEC\u2019s for registration renewal: online &amp; through hard copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submitting CEC Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can submit your CECs online by logging into The Registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On your User Account page, click \u201cCEC Log\u201d<\/li><li>Then click \u201cSubmit CEC Petition\u201d from the expanded menu<\/li><li>Fill in the submission form.&nbsp; You will only be able to submit the CEC certificates digitally. So, if you have a hard copy, you can take a picture with your phone or scanner and upload the image\/PDF file.<\/li><li>The certificates are verified manually by the Fitness Team. In effect, you may need to wait 5-10 business days for your CECs to be processed and your account to be updated.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submitting CEC via Paper Documents (Hard Copies)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is a bit more precarious. BCRPA has the right to refuse hard copies of renewal documents.&nbsp; If you choose to submit documents this way, they will charge an extra $25 fee per submission to recoup manually processing costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re currently registered as a Fitness Leader on The Registry of Fitness Professionals, you\u2019ll need to\u00a0renew your registration\u00a0every 2 years.\u00a0 As part of this license renewal process, you will need to provide proof of BCRPA continuing education credits ( BCRPA CEC) along with: Paying the renewal fee Submitting your current CPR and First Aid&#8230; &raquo; <a class=\"read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/bcrpa-cec\/\">read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness-theory"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/aaron-burden-xG8IQMqMITM-unsplash.jpg?fit=1920%2C1442&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":149,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147\/revisions\/149"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhpedu.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
