First of all trying to communicate with ACE is nearly impossible. Email and phone are worthless. I got through on my second chat. First ACE chat person just dropped the session.
I spent $479 on a specialist program that was advertised as being accepted by the ACSM, but ACE cannot provide a course number because they don't really have any arrangement with ACSM. Unless you are ACE certified don't waste your time and money on CEC's from ACE.

Bottom line, the customer service is TERRIBLE. I currently hold a group fitness certification through ACE and I'm attempting to petition for continuing education credits in order to renew my group fitness certification (I've done this in the past no problem).
I have been trying, for a month now, to talk to someone and explain the specifics of the graduate college courses I am taking, as it is a program most people are not familiar with. Instead of someone taking the time to listen, they have been leaving all of my emails and voicemails UNRETURNED.
When I did finally get the chance to talk to

I had a special situation, in were ACE had the opportunity to tell me " too bad" or "tuff luck" with my problem. Instead, they went out of their way to not only accommodate me with my special problem but also took the time to make it perfect. I want to thank Brent McLemore and Sue Chandler for showing me great customer service, above and beyond what I would have ever expected. I would recommend this School not just for their great material, but also the fantastic customer service they give to their customers. Thank you very much for everything.
