Certification is granted when a candidate has completed both a theory & practical exam to demonstrate a competency in skills and an understanding of the materials. WaterART Fitness currently offers many levels of Certification Programs. Only candidates that have completed either a home study correspondence training program or an onsite program may become certified. We do not transfer our certification status from other programs.
