Choose a Training Date Questions, answered
Before you enroll.
Who is this certification for?+
Personal trainers, massage and wellness professionals, recovery professionals, and qualified career changers who want structured assisted stretching education.
Is the program fully online?+
No. The academy prepares you online, but the hands-on training and practical evaluation happen in person because assisted stretching is a physical skill.
What credential will I earn?+
Graduates who complete the education and demonstrate competency earn the ASA Certified Stretch Practitioner credential.
Do I need prior experience?+
A fitness, wellness, or anatomy background is helpful. Contact ASA if you are unsure whether your experience is the right fit.
Does certification replace a professional license?+
No. Certification documents education and competency; it does not replace any license required by your state or local jurisdiction.
Is insurance included?+
Insurance is not included. Practitioners are responsible for securing appropriate professional and business coverage.
Will I need to recertify every year?+
ASA is not designed around an annual recertification treadmill. Continuing education is encouraged, but the core credential does not expire after twelve months.
Can I split the tuition into payments?+
Yes. Qualified applicants can apply for an interest-free three-payment option through Vagaro at checkout. That is approximately $166 per payment at $497 tuition, $199 per payment at $597 tuition, or $266 per payment at the standard $797 tuition. Approval and eligibility requirements apply.
What should I do after certification?+
Use your Practitioner Launch Portfolio to present the service clearly and begin building experience responsibly. ASA also recommends Physmodo as an optional client-engagement and movement-screening tool.
