REPs
The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) is a system of regulation for all instructors, coaches, trainers and teachers involved in the exercise and fitness industry. Registration is achieved and maintained through the gaining of qualifications and training which are nationally recognised and linked to the National Occupational Standards for exercise and fitness.
Lifetime and REPs
All Lifetime awards are recognised by REPs and upon completion of a full award we will arrange and pay for your registration. In addition, because our awards not only meet, but exceed the level of practical skill required by the awarding bodies, Lifetime qualified instructors are regarded as amongst the best in the fitness industry.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Like most other areas of employment, the fitness industry is experiencing rapid change, in terms of the range of products and services on offer and the technical ability that is needed to deliver them. Whether you are employed, self-employed or work part-time, you will need to keep your knowledge and skills up to date and relevant. Personal development is often called Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and it is a requirement for maintaining your REPs status:
In a 2 year period any REPs accredited instructor is required to achieve 24 CPD credits with a minimum requirement of 4 CPD credits in one year.
