REPS NEWS REPs At IHRSA 2013
Last week the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association’s (IHRSA) 32nd Annual International Convention & Tradeshow took place in Las Vegas.
During the four exciting days of conference REPs UK was represented by its Registrar Jean-Ann Marnoch, who addressed the IHRSA delegates in three sessions.
The first session “National Registers and International Recognition of Fitness Professionals” was co-presented by the Chair of the International Confederation of Registers of Exercise Professionals (ICREPs) Richard Beddie. During the talk they explained how individual training providers can gain accreditation by ICREPs in order to get recognition in countries without an ICREPs National Register membership.
The focus of the second and third session was on how to set up a Register and what benefits it holds - “Certification, a global perspective” and “Developing National Instructor Registration System: What you need to know”. The sessions were very well received and even inspired several international organisations to set up their own Registers!
