What Is the Active Trainer Program?
ATP keeps certified trainers active, visible, and up to date after certification.
Go to this feature →In short: The Active Trainer Program (ATP) is an annual maintenance program for IKU certified trainers with Level 3 or higher certifications. Meet the yearly requirements and your certification stays active. Fall behind and your status degrades. ATP trainers rank higher in the trainer directory and display an Active Trainer badge.
ATP is how IKU certified trainers prove they are still actively training and contributing. It replaces traditional recertification exams with real-world engagement: log workouts, contribute to the community, and keep your profile public.
