The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs Ireland) has been established to professionalise the fitness industry through the promotion of standards. This ensures that registered members are appropriately qualified with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to perform their role effectively.
REPs Ireland accepts exercise professionals onto the professional register when they fulfil 4 key criteria:
- Achieve qualifications and awards that meet industry standards & have been independently Quality Assured
- Maintain professional standing by ongoing CPD
- Maintain appropriate insurance cover while practicing
- Adhere to a code of ethical practice
The list of Register of Exercise Professionals approved education providers is available here. The industry standards used by REPs Ireland are based upon the European standards developed by the European Health & Fitness Association (EHFA).
REPs Ireland operates independently of all Education Providers and facilities and works to maintain professional standards in the industry.
All approved providers are independently audited every 2 years and adhere to agreed terms & conditions. REPs Ireland is governed by a Council which has been established by Ireland Active, to oversee and support the function of the Register of Exercise Professionals in Ireland. The specific role of the council is to inform the setting of policy and standards in relation to professional registration, provide advice in regard to industry trends, needs and opportunities that will enhance professional and industry development.
