Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Courses

Great coaching is an art, but it is fueled by sport science. USATF has created a comprehensive library of online continuing education unit (CEU) courses designed to better inform athletes, coaches, and academics. Whether you are looking to supplement your journey through the Professional Pathway (USATF Level 1, 2, 3) or simply want to expand your knowledge of human performance, these track and field specific courses offer evidence-based strategies.

Why Enroll?

Learn from One of the Best Educators: Access exclusive course materials from Dr. Christine Brooks, the 2022 USOPC Coach Educator of the Year and an accomplished training theory expert.

Flexible & Asynchronous: Fit professional development in on your time. These courses are affordable, 100% online, and self-paced. Each course features hours of lecture videos, readings, and quizzes. Additionally, many of the course titles have been completely remastered in 2025.

Verified Credentials: Receive a digital certificate of completion and apply towards USATF Recertification requirements. Use the Skills Passport feature on the platform to manage and display all your professional development certificates in one central hub.
