What we do
REPs operates the registration body for exercise professionals, exercise facilities and education providers in New Zealand
REPs registration gives independent verification that a registered individual/facility meets the industry standards on an ongoing basis.
For members of the public and other health professionals, registration with REPs is the recognised standard to ensure safe and effective exercise advice.
More than a qualification
Registration with REPs is far more than just a verification of an initial qualification, which is a one off event. Registration is an annual process, meaning a Registered Exercise Professionals knowledge is up to date, and also bound by a Code of Ethics.
A person registering with REPs must meet three criteria, and continue to meet them each year when they re-register:
- Initial Qualifications ensuring they are competent to undertake their role
- Ongoing education to ensure they keep up to date (including first aid and/or CPR)
- Follow the REPs Code of Conduct to protect all involved
A person who does not meet the REPs standards, or is deemed unsuitable to continue to work in the industry, will not be accepted by REPs for (re)registration.
