International
REPs is the sole membership organisation in the UK that represents the International Confederation of Registers of Exercise Professionals (ICREPS). This is an international partnership between registration bodies around the world that register exercise professionals. There can only be one recognised register from each country.
The purpose of ICREPS is to promote portability of qualified exercise professionals through the co-operation and affiliation of national registration schemes. ICREPS exists to serve the worldwide community of exercise professionals through an agreed framework of knowledge and competency standards which are set for professionals and agreed nationally. These standards have been mapped to the National Occupational Standards (NOS) and form the basis of reciprocal agreements. They are recognised through an independent registration process.
The members of the Confederation are the registers for exercise professionals operating in:
• Australia
• Belgium
• Canada
• Ireland
• New Zealand
• Poland
• South Africa
• United Kingdom
• United Arab Emirates
• USA
Visit ICREPS for more details on the global portability matrix. This will be of particular use to exercise professionals who have completed training and registered in one country, but intend to travel and work in another country where there is an ICREPs member national register of exercise professionals.
