Why Maintaining Certification Credentials Is Important

With new science breakthroughs happening constantly in the health and wellness field, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the educational curve. Continuing education will not only help you become more knowledgeable with the latest trends, but it’s also required for all allied healthcare professionals to ensure the most accurate information is provided to customers. Make it a priority to get continuing education credits so you can demonstrate to your clients that you’re a trusted professional.

AFPA instantly gives you credibility and is super well respected in the industry. Clients know that if you have that certification, that they’re getting credible, reliable information. I also chose AFPA because of the course structure. With the courses, you get to make your own schedule and it’s perfect for anyone who may have another job, is going to school, or has a family."

I searched left and right for something that was accredited, affordable, and was really extensive. I found AFPA, which checked all those boxes and then some. I loved that they have been around for 25 years. It was great that the certification was flexible and I could still homeschool my kids while studying."
