What is the Register of Exercise Professionals?
The Register of Exercise Professionals (or REPs) is a government-backed system of self-regulation for all instructors, coaches, trainers and teachers involved in the exercise and fitness industry.
The Register of Exercise Professionals is designed to:
- Provide a system to regulate fitness instructors and trainers
- Ensure fitness instructors and trainers meet the health and fitness industry’s national occupational standards
- Safeguard the livelihood of professionals who have invested time and money into their education
- Protect the public from individuals who do not meet nationally recognised standards
- Registration is achieved and maintained through qualifications and training which are nationally recognised and which are linked to the National Occupational Standards for exercise and fitness
Why is the Register of Exercise Professionals important?
It is vital that as a qualified Gym Instructor or Personal Trainer you are aware of the educational importance and the professional requirement of maintaining and updating your knowledge and skills base.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points can be achieved by attending REPs accredited training courses, workshops, conferences, seminars and trade shows. Over a 2 year period any instructor or Personal Trainer who wishes to maintain their REPs accreditation will need to gain 24 CPD points, a minimum of 4 CPD points being achieved within any one year.
