International Transferable Registration: ICREPs
The ICREPs (International Confederation of Registers for Exercise Professionals) is an international partnership between registration bodies around the world that register exercise professionals. ICREPs Members operate in 4 continents, over seven countries, and collectively register over 60,000 individual exercise professionals. ICREPs has also produced a global matrix that maps each ICREPs member’s registration levels against the others, which provides a clear pathway for exercise professionals considering moving countries.
ICREPs' three main functions include:
- Facilitating international portability/recognition for exercise professionals worldwide
- Providing information and support to countries and regions that wish to develop registration systems for exercise professionals
- Facilitating sharing of best practice systems between ICREPs members
BCRPA's connection to ICREPs furthers our goals by providing international portability and recognition for Canadian exercise professionals and by allowing us to share best practices and information with international partners.
As a BCRPA Registered Fitness Leader, your registration allows you international portability across registration with ICREPs partners. For further information, please contact BCRPA by email.
