Certificates will be handed out upon successful completion of each course. Certificates normally arrive from Canada 4-6 weeks after the exam return deadline. The Certificate cost is included in the courses fees, but replacement or extra certificates will be issued for $20 each.
Attendees can’t copy or re-produce any material without written approval of SPI. The material is the sole property of SPI and participants must only benefit from it on a personal level only.
Attendees agree to be photographed during the workshop and approve that some of the pictures would be posted on the website and/or social media. If otherwise please inform the administration.
All text books and course materials are provided as part of the course.
There is at least one formal evaluation for each of the courses. Evaluations may be in the form of written exams, oral exams, practical demonstration and/or take home assignments, which must be returned no later than two weeks following the course date. Late exams will be subject to a late penalty of $25 after the due date. The pass mark for all exams and assignments is 70%. In the event that an exam does not meet the necessary requirements, one rewrite is allowed ($40 fee need to be paid). If after the rewrite the exam is still not satisfactory, the course will have to be taken again (for an extra charge of $150). All exams are retained by the Sport performance Institute as proof of certification.
Exam Grades will be delivered after 3 weeks from the exam date provided that all courses’ fees are settled. Successful attendees may refer back to the office to have access to their exam papers in order to check their mistakes and get the guidance of the instructor when needed to improve their standards accordingly.
No Certification can be delivered unless a valid “Adult CPR/AED” (with hands on practical skills components) Certification is completed. Those who did not complete their CPR/AED can only receive a certificate of attendance with ACSM approved CECs and/or REPs UAE CPDs.
SPI courses attendance is mandatory. If it is not possible to participate in the full course do not register for that course date.
Course fees include all course materials. Gym rates, package rates and/or facilitation in payment apply in some occasions. Course fees must be paid at least prior to the start of the course. Refunds are available up to 3 hours of course start up, and are subject to a $50 administration fee. Refunds will not be granted after this time but registration can be transferred to another course date.
Like any professional certification, the SPI certifications require a certain minimum standard of maintenance in order to ensure that SPI certified instructors are updated with the latest information within fitness. For this reason, the SPI requires ongoing education in order to renew and maintain your 3 years certification.
Continuing education plays a vital role in the quality of any profession. Fitness is no different. Keeping abreast of the latest developments in sports and fitness is one of the responsibilities of fitness professionals.
To renew SPI certification(s) you have 3 years to accumulate 45 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) and must pay the required recertification fee of $75 for the first certificate and a $10 fee for every additional certificate. You need as well to maintain your CPR/AED certification. This can be achieved by attending 2 fitness or sports workshops, seminars, or 1 certification course or conference in the calendar year. SPI maintains the right to recall or nullify the certificate document in the event certificate holders have violated program requirements or policies.
If upon completing the course you feel that extra personal explanation is needed, we can provide you with one on one education service for a fee of 50$ per hour, or 125$ per 3 hours session. For further details, please contact the office.
