How to Submit a Program

Submit a program for approval

For a program to be eligible for CECs, you must apply for approval through Fitness Australia. Programs can be submitted by completing the application form. Once the application form has been submitted, you must submit the required documentation electronically. This can be via a USB Disk or CD. If the files being submitted are not too large, then they can be submitted via email cecsupport@fitness.org.au.

CEC programs are approved for a period of two years. There is also the option of a one-off program submission. In this case, the program is approved for a particular date as it may only be offered once, or may change for the next time that it is being held.
