Fitness endorsement panel

Our fitness endorsement panel is made up of sector representatives from employers, training providers, Higher Education, and industry experts. 

Members of the panel have worked over the last few years to develop a CPD system for the exercise and fitness sector which improves the quality of training and raises standards.

The panel advises SkillsActive on the technical content of submissions and plays a role in quality assuring the delivery of training, which is then ultimately recognised by Register of Exercise Professionals. 

Evaluators are required to sign and agree to the following documentations.
