Training & Payment Policies

Visit the Western Continuing Studies Registration Policy page for detailed information about TEP and SFIC drops, transfers and refunds.

All CCAA courses are offered in English unless otherwise noted in the session description. Participants may submit a request to the Education Coordinator via email at ccaa.courses@uwo.ca if they wish to have a translator accompany them to training at their own expense.

ONLY Seniors’ Fitness Instructor Course (SFIC) Trainers or Evaluators can conduct your practical evaluation in-person or via video.

No. Becoming a certified senior fitness instructor may be enforced through your employer as a condition of employment/volunteering for teaching classes. But there is no law that states an instructor must be certified in order to teach senior fitness.

If you are unable to complete certification or renewal requirements for any reason within the allotted timeframe for these processes, a one-time extension of up to a maximum of 3 months may be given at the discretion of the Certification Coordinator. To request an extension, you must send a request via email to the Certification Coordinator at ccaa.certification@uwo.ca. 

Regardless of circumstances, if the certification requirements are not met by the end of the extension period, you will be required to retake the course in which you are certified, at which point you will receive another 12 months to fulfill the certification requirements. If the renewal requirements are not met by the end of the extension period, you may request a certification reinstatement.

Note: An administration fee of $50 + applicable taxes applies to all extensions.
