Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does CPEP take to complete?
The program is set up in a 15-step format. You set the pace — do a step a week or a step a month. Most practitioners complete training over 3–6 months while implementing as they go.
Can I start using it before I finish?
Yes — that’s by design. Each step includes a team training segment so you can implement with your staff as you learn. Most practitioners begin seeing results with patients within the first week.
What if I’ve already taken the 20-hour CE course?
If you’ve completed the 20-hour posture CE course within the last 24 months, those hours can be applied toward CPEP certification requirements. Contact us for a discount on tuition.
Is there an ongoing financial commitment?
No. Everything you need is included in the program enrollment cost. There are no ongoing fees or subscriptions required to maintain your CPEP designation.
What’s the difference between Practice and Launch Editions?
Both include the full certification program. The Launch Edition adds a complete community outreach kit — portable screening grid, event display banner, three lecture formats, retail books, and implementation coaching calls.
Is CPEP appropriate for fitness professionals?
Absolutely. CPEP protocols apply to every age and ability — athletes to geriatrics, rehab to performance. Many of our most successful CPEPs are personal trainers, athletic trainers, and fitness coaches.
What CEU boards does CPEP qualify for?
CPEP is approved for DC, PT, MT (NCBTMB), CPT (ACE, NASM, NSCA practitioners have successfully applied for approval of CE), and many others. We provide program verification and CE transcripts for your board submission.
What support is available after enrolling?
You’ll have direct Instructor and Trainer access, invitations to live Zoom trainings, the Posture Practice e-newsletter, and the exclusive CPEP resource area — ongoing, at no additional cost.
