UESCA takes 50% off its online Certification Courses for first responders, and the page names police officers, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics, along with spouses. The discount shows at checkout, and the page has you send your ID afterward.
UESCA is the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy. Its FAQ calls it a coach education company whose mission is to certify coaches, and the course menu includes online coaching certifications, advantage courses and specialization courses. If you coach a running group at the station or want a second career around endurance athletes, it’s a certification you can work through at home.

Who Qualifies, In UESCA’s Words
The offer sentence covers first responders in law enforcement, firefighting, and EMT and paramedic roles, plus other medical personnel in first responder roles, and it covers spouses. The page then lists job titles. On the law enforcement side it names police officers (federal, state and local, active and retired), sheriff and sheriff deputies, correctional officers and state troopers. It also names park police and park rangers, probation and parole officers, detention officers, railroad police officers, school resource officers, and auxiliary and reserve deputies or officers.
For fire and EMS, the list names career firefighters (federal, state and local), wild-land firefighters, volunteer firefighters and fire marshals, then emergency medical technicians, paramedics, medical helicopter pilots, flight nurses, mobile intensive care nurses and pre-hospital registered nurses. Ski patrol and search and rescue team members finish the list.
The page doesn’t name 911 dispatchers, and it doesn’t mention children or other dependents. It tells you to check the list or email UESCA if you’re unsure, so if your job isn’t on it, send that email before you buy.
What The Discount Covers
The page says 50% off all online UESCA Certification Courses. The FAQ prints the certification fee as $599, which it says includes all the online training modules and access to the exam with one retake. The page doesn’t print a discounted dollar amount, so go by your checkout screen. UESCA says it recognizes the discount internationally.
The offer names Certification Courses. The site menu lists specialization courses and advantage courses as their own groups, and the page doesn’t say whether the discount reaches them, so ask UESCA first if one of those is what you want.
Studying Around A Shift Schedule
There’s no classroom. The FAQ says the modules are online, you can open all of them once you buy (nothing is held back), and the exam is online too. You have 12 months (365 days) from the date of purchase to take it, and two attempts to pass with an 80% score. You must be 18 or older to register, and a certification is good for two years.
Certification Courses carry a 30-day, 100% money back guarantee, per the FAQ, but no refund is given once you’ve downloaded the course PDF.
