Notify Your Supervisor The NSCA Certi?cation Commission realizes that in order to utilize your certi?cation to the fullest, you must let people know you have it. One of the best ways to do this is with a “Notify Your Supervisor” letter from the NSCA Certification Commission. We will send your supervisor a complimentary letter to notify him or her of your accomplishment, whether it is certi?cation or recerti?cation. Even if you have been certi?ed for several years, the supervisor noti?cation letter can be a great reminder to your management staff that you have maintained your certi?cation. To request a “Notify Your Supervisor” letter be sent to your employer, visit the Continuing Education section of our web site at www.nsca-cc.org or call 888-746-2378, ext. 118. Bulletin 25.6
