    practical tests associated with each course are delivered and assessed efficiently and

    effectively to ensure you pass. All courses and certification are accredited by the Register of

    Exercise Professionals (REPs) and are awarded by Active IQ (internationally recognised).

    professional of your choice to act as your invigilator. This means that you can take your

    The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs)

    The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) is an independent public Register whichrecognises the qualifications and expertise of health-enhancing exercise instructors in the

    UK. One of their key functions is to provide a system of regulation for instructors and

    trainers to ensure that they meet the health and fitness industrys agreed national

    occupational standards.

    To gain REPs recognition, fitness professionals must provide evidence that they have

    qualified through a REPs accredited course that meets the National Occupational Standards.

    These standards are produced by SkillActive, the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure &

    Wellbeing, who represent the needs of the industry agreed by employers and other

    stakeholders.

    Membership of REPs provides assurance and confidence to consumers, employers and the

    health professions that all registered exercise professionals are appropriately qualified and

    have the knowledge, competence and skills to perform specific roles.

    REPs members are acknowledged for their:

    professionalism adherence to the industrys nationally recognised standards

    ongoing educationAll REPs members are bound by a Code of Ethical Conduct and need to hold appropriate

    public liability insurance.

    Membership also allows for the transferability of skills throughout the UK, across

    participating countries in Europe and around the world.

    In order to remain on the Register, members must continue to meet the standards that are

    set for their profession through Continual Professional Development (CPD).

    "As a relatively young and dynamic industry there are lots of new and exciting

    developments in the world of fitness. Whether its studying how exercise can help ease and

    treat complex medical conditions, taking your career to the next level or simply becoming a

    better instructor, the Register of Exercise Professionals is passionate about continued

    professional development and life-long learning.

    REPs also appreciates that investing in learning and qualifications can seem costly and time-

    intensive. So to ensure any course you take will not only be rewarding and enriching, but

    also useful and relevant to your career, REPs would always advise making sure it is approved

    by SkillsActive (the sector skills council for the fitness industry) and therefore fits in with the

    REPs entry structure, or endorsed CPD carrying REPs CPD points. You can check whether

    your chosen course meets the agreed industry standards on the REPs training portal."

    on DVD, CD or USB stick and send it to us by post.
