As an accrediting body approved by ICREPs (the International Confederation of Registers of Exercise Professionals) offering recognition to the health and fitness sector, PD:Approval has over 50 years of knowledge and experience in standards setting, quality assurance and structuring frameworks to strengthen the verification of training that underpins the values of membership organisations and institutes internationally.
Our main functions are to:
- Raise sector standards by implementing professional recognition through a quality assurance kitemarking process.
- Offer technical services to support training providers to generate commercial and quality robust training programmes.
- Promote quality assured training to employers and potential learners through various channels.
ICREPs is an international partnership between registration bodies around the world that register exercise professionals.
ICREPs has three main functions:
- To facilitate international portability/recognition for exercise professionals worldwide
- To provide information and support to countries and regions that wish to develop registration systems for exercise professionals
- To facilitate sharing of best practice systems between ICREPs members
ICREPs does not in itself operate a registration system – it supports countries to develop their own systems based on the unique needs of that country.
