MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS Added value
As a REPs member you’ll already be aware of most of the benefits that being a part of REPs brings.
But did you know about the other added benefits available exclusively to REPs members?
l Access to the Members’ Area of the REPs website – this area is packed full of useful information, and offers that are exclusive to members including: Free up-skilling units – specially written modules worth 1 CPD point. On-line CPD record – an easy way for members to log their annual CPD requirements ready for re-registration. Training Portal – the facility to search for, and book, courses in an area convenient to you.
l Added value insurance – offered exclusively to REPs members by insurers JLT - this includes personal accident cover, free legal advice, assistance and counselling as well as comprehensive cover.
l Special rates at REPs conventions – becoming increasingly popular, these regular events attract top keynote speakers and a great choice of interactive and practical workshops. Members can earn CPD points too as well as getting a valuable chance to network.
l Public awareness – as well as spreading the word to members of the public, REPs is also involved in raising awareness of the role exercise professionals can play in the health of the nation and holds regular meetings with professional bodies within the medical field to promote this.
New for 2011…Marketing Materials for Members Feedback from members has shown
a demand for REPs-branded goods, so in response to that a series of posters, car stickers, referral cards and a comprehensive personal training log-book have been designed.
The spiral-bound A5 personal training log book has pages for clients to detail and record their training schedules,
progress and goals as well as useful information on nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Posters are available to download via the members area of the REPs website or can be ordered via the office along with the referral cards for free. Other marketing materials can be bought via the REPs office or on- line through the website.
Up-skilling CPD unit, now live on-line On-line up-skilling units to bring REPs members in line with the new entry standards are now live via the members area of the REPs website – www.exerciseregister.org
Available exclusively to members the five, free modules will allow current level 2/3 members to adapt their mainstream classes/sessions for occasional clients who fall into one, or more, of the following categories:
l Older adults l Ante and post-natal women l 14-16 year old teenagers l Disabled people l Children and vulnerable adults Each module will earn REPs members 1 CPD point.
REPs Registrar Jean-Ann Marnoch explains: “During the consultation period for the new National Occupational Standards it became clear that many people who fall into the categories above were regular exercisers and often took part in group classes and regular sessions.
“The new REPs structure reflects this, and requires level 2/3 members to have the necessary knowledge to adapt sessions for these occasional clients. These up- skilling units will provide the necessary expertise. It’s important to remember that these units do not qualify a member to take a session specifically for people in these special populations. Classes specifically targetting these populations require the full qualification leading to a specific category on the Register.” For further information visit: http://bit.ly/cbrzAt
