The International Confederation of Registers for Exercise Professionals (ICREPs) is an international partnership between registration bodies around the world that register exercise professionals. Members of ICREPs operate independent, competency based registration systems for exercise professionals. ICREPs registration systems operate in four continents, ten countries, and collectively register over 250,000 individual exercise professionals.
You can gain international recognition and direct transfer to work in the below listed countries through AUSactive's Exercise Professional Registration and ICREP's portability arrangement.
ICREPs have produced a global matrix that maps each ICREPs member's registration levels against others, which provides a clear pathway for exercise professionals who are considering working overseas.
