Welcome to CETI From the President & Founder

The Cancer Exercise Specialist® (CES) is a professional qualified to assess, design, and implement individual and group exercise programs for individuals diagnosed with cancer. The CES is skilled in evaluating health behaviors and risk factors, conducting comprehensive fitness assessments, writing appropriate exercise recommendations, and motivating individuals to modify negative health habits and maintain positive lifestyle behaviors for health promotion. The CES will have a complete understanding of the entire cancer process from diagnosis to treatment, recovery, prevention of lymphedema, and contraindications. The qualification process includes demonstrating competency through a comprehensive multiple-choice examination.


Course description - Health and fitness professionals will expand their knowledge base by learning all stages of cancer treatment, side-effects, and reconstructive procedures and how they impact exercise programming. No two clients will have the same exercise and physical activity recommendations; each person is unique given their many permutations and combinations of their own health challenges and pre-existing medical and orthopedic conditions.


Multiple choice examination – includes 125 multiple choice questions. Questions are drawn from the CES handbooks and lecture/video content. Upon passing the examination you will receive your results immediately and be able to print out your formal certificate and one will be emailed to you shortly thereafter for your CEU's. You will also be able to add your contact information to the International Cancer Exercise Specialist® Online Directory. You have 180 days from the date of purchase to complete the course.


Refund Policy - if you register for the home-study, and are dissatisfied for any reason, you may request a refund within 14 days of the original purchase date for a full refund. After 14 days, there are NO refunds.

  • Books will only be accepted if they are returned in their original/unused condition otherwise they will be deducted from your refund amount
  • For international purchases, our shipping costs will be deducted from your refund

Once the module one quiz is started within the course, there will be NO refunds.


Renewals - in an attempt to ensure ongoing competency and to maintain a high standard for qualified professionals, CES qualifications must be renewed every two years. You will be given a two-month grace period after your qualification expires, in which to take the examination. You can purchase the renewal at CETI.teachable.com.

Thank you for choosing The Cancer Exercise Training Institute. We look forward to helping you achieve success in the rapidly growing medical fitness industry.
