There is currently no change to yoga as the National Occupational Standards are under review.

Disability, antenatal and post-natal and older adult additional categories

Other level 3 categories of entry to the Register l Pilates l Exercise movement and dance partnership (EMDP) l Advanced exercise to music The changes to these qualifications are viewed as an evolution of the qualification and therefore present no need for existing level 3 members to have to up-skill in order to remain at level 3 with the above categories on the Register. It is hoped that training providers will offer courses that cover the discipline- specific units only so that members holding existing level 3 qualifications will not have to repeat the mandatory common units at level 3. Under this new structure level 2 ETM is a prerequisite of level 3 advanced ETM and level 2 gym is a prerequisite of level 3 personal trainer.

Discipline-specific units that map to the following National Occupational Standards 2. Design, manage and adapt an exercise and physical activity programme with referred patients/clients 3. Plan and instruct exercise and physical activities with referred patients/clients

Up-skilling requirements for existing REPs members holding a recognised exercise referral qualification Members holding a level 2 category of registration and an ‘old’ exercise referral qualification (i.e. they do not have level 3 advanced Fitness Instructing or level 3 exercise and fitness knowledge) will be required to achieve the level 3 anatomy and physiology for exercise and health unit.
