Qualifications & Training

THE REPS MISSION STATEMENT IS:

“To ensure that all exercise professionals are suitably knowledgeable and qualified to help safeguard and to promote the health and interests of the people who use their services.”

Entry to the directory of names which forms the Register of Exercise Professionals in the UK is determined by assessing an application for membership against the listing of qualifications which are approved by Government and which sit currently on the National Qualifications Framework. In future these will be based on emerging Qualification Credit Frameworks established for the Home Nations. The UK has developed an extensive range of National Standards which define the knowledge, skills and competencies that exercise professionals require to practice safely and effectively and the Register uses these to determine the level of entry and any other additional categories of registration.

At the discretion of the Registrar entry to the Register may be given with provisional status which allows 12 months for that member to ‘convert’ to full membership.

Qualifications are delivered by REPs approved training providers which are usually certified by an awarding body. It is also possible to gain entry to the Register through related exercise and fitness higher education awards.
