Our courses are accredited by NASM and ACE — earn CEUs as you learn. IKU certifications are awarded separately through a personal physical assessment. Our 30% pass rate exists because we measure real competence — not just knowledge.
L3 certifications include the full accredited course (earn NASM and ACE CEUs), plus a physical assessment where you must demonstrate real competence. The course and certification are separate — you can complete the course without taking the certification assessment.
