The Register of Exercise Professionals, REPS for short, is a voluntary register that recognizes the experience and qualifications of fitness instructors in the UK and abroad. If a qualification is approved by REPS it shows that the content meets the standards of Skills Active and the Occupational Standards Council for Sports and Exercise. Employers look for qualifications that are REPS approved and many will only consider applications if you hold a REPS approved qualification.
Solar Fitness Qualifications only deliver REPS approved qualifications. Your SFQ Fitness Instruction qualification will gain you entry to level 2 of REPS while the Personal training qualification will gain level 3 REPS entry.
Registration costs as little as £25.00 and gives you access to an excellent insurance scheme, regular informative newsletters, health and fitness journals, international portability of qualifications and conferences as well as assurance that your qualifications are valid, in date and from a reputable training provider. In short – if your training provider doesn’t guarantee that you can enroll on REPS, you should seek another training provider or you may find your qualification is not widely accepted.
While enrolment onto REPS may be voluntary, with more and more employers relying on REPS to identify approved qualifications, REPS membership is highly recommended.
