Qualification Providers Registration
General Information
Institutions that have applied now form the exclusive basis for recommendation from REPs to students – we only recommended courses that are registered or have applied for registration.
Why Register with REPs?
Initial Training Providers
National Recognition: While many education institutions that offered excellent training were well known in their city or town, very seldom were their courses understood outside of that area, meaning the course was not appropriately recognised, and the graduate disadvantaged (ie less likely to be employed). REPs registration is well understood by all employers in the industry meaning a person graduation at one end of the country that registers with REPs can then move and be instantly recognised as an individual who meets the required standards to work in the exercise industry for the role they are registered for.
International Recognition: Individuals who obtain a qualification in New Zealand and then travel to any partner country of ICREPs must either first be registered with REPs, or undertake full assessment in the partner country (a costly and time consuming process).
