Professional Practice and CECs
Continuing Education Credits (CECs) no longer apply to professional practice from 2016.
As part of our enhancement of the Exercise Professional Registration System, feedback from across the industry indicated a need for greater depth of assessed knowledge and learning among registered exercise professionals to ensure quality and credibility. As a result, continuing education credits now apply only to participation in education. This might include approved courses listed on the CEC directory or a range of other eligible education methods.
We are currently in the process of developing new options for CECs gained via affiliated education and will communicate this to the industry in the near future.
The currency of practice is still an important principle of exercise professional registration. As an AusREP, you will be required to keep your Professional Practice Status up-to-date, so that it is clear which of your registration categories you are practicing in at any given time.
