What is AEMA certification?

The AEMA, or Athletic Equipment Managers Association, is a group dedicated to advocating for safety and improvement within the athletic equipment manager position. As part of this goal, they offer a certification course for those interested in becoming athletic equipment managers, as well as providing continuing education for those working as an equipment manager. Not all employers require this certification, but it helps with career advancement. The continuing education portion also allows managers to stay up-to-date on safety information. Once you’ve passed your initial exam, you must earn six continuing education units every three years to maintain it.
