Website

The EREPS Website is in constant development with more information on how and why we operate being added all of the time. We have also managed to translate large sections into German, French, Spanish and Italian so it is worth regularly checking at www.ereps.eu to keep up to date.

All members are listed here in our directory and it is possible to search by name, qualification (status of registration) and location. Members can access their own personal information to change addresses and contact details and to add a personal statement. Those who use the advanced search facility with their contact details are displayed on the directory with the EREPS logo next to their name.

Training Providers

The EREPS website also has a list of all of our approved training providers – and this is growing all the time. These training providers run programmes that meet European standards and give direct entry to EREPS. To become an approved training provider they have to meet exacting standards of programme content and delivery – and they are visited by quality inspectors to check.

EFAA Convention

EREPS recently presented at the EFAA personal trainer convention in the Netherlands. This type of event is an important occasion for EREPS to meet with existing and prospective members and to be able to explain the work that we are doing. If you know of a fitness industry event where you think that EREPS should attend then please let us know by e-mailing details to info@ereps.eu. Thank you.
