Program Accreditation

People in the cityProfessional development program accreditation

We accredit educational programs that contribute to the professional development of exercise professionals.

What is program accreditation?

Program accreditation demonstrates that a professional development program meets a high standard of educational merit and quality of content and delivery.

Workshops and programs are accredited for two years. Events, conferences and seminars are accredited as a one off for the date on which they take place.

Who can apply?

Anyone who has developed a professional development program appropriate to deliver to exercise professionals may apply for program accreditation.

What are the benefits of program accreditation?

There are a number of benefits to the program provider:

  • Accredited programs have industry credibility and are well trusted.
  • The program provider will receive Professional Development Points (PDPs). Find out how to earn PDPs.
  • Accredited programs are promoted through our List of Accredited Programs (PDF) which lists the program name, provider, contact details, course dates (if supplied) and a direct link to the provider’s website.
  • Providers of accredited programs also have access to discount rates for our Email Alert advertising service.  Find out more about Email Alerts.
