All FSSA Professional Trainers maintain their professional status by:

- Demonstrates to colleagues and superiors/management a dedication to quality healthcare and to the highest standards for conduct of fitness professionals.
- Presents solid evidence to employers that an employee has trained and has been tested to implement best practices and apply current technology solutions, in addition to any abilities that in turn advance the organization.
- Sets a person apart from uncredentialed (non certified & dodgy) job candidates.

What does professional accreditation mean?

Professional accreditation is a process that gives public recognition to educational institutions that meet standards of quality.

Professional accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental means of assessing and certifying institutional quality.

In other words, accredited institutions:
· Have clearly defined and well-stated learning objectives.
· Offer educationally sound and up-to-date courses.
· Provide outstanding educational services to students.
· Have demonstrated learner success and satisfaction.
· Have a competent staff.
· Promotes its courses truthfully.
· Have an effective research and self-improvement program.

Professional accreditation promises learners that the institution they elected to study with is a reputable one that will provide quality education.

Professional accreditation is not, however, a guarantee that your course work will be accepted by other educational institutions or government agencies, although this frequently can happen.

Is EREPS accepted in India or by the Indian Govt.?

Yes. EuropeActive and the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS) have signed an agreement with the Council for Sports, Education, Physics, Fitness and Leisure-Skills (SPEFL-SC) in India for the creation of a national registry of India, whose supervision falls on the SPEFL - SC. The Indian fitness professionals who join this program, will be part of an expanding worldwide community of instructors.

What is EREPS?

EREPS is an abbreviation of 'European Register of Exercise Professionals', a fully independent register of trainers, instructors and teachers working in the European/Global fitness sector.
