The Delivery Knowledge and Skills that you have obtained over time through units of competency within a qualification or through continuing education will be listed on your public profile on the Australian Register of Exercise Professionals, and on your certificate.
The Australian Register of Exercise Professionals is searchable by location, registration category, knowledge and skills, so that clients, employers and health professionals can find you!
Former categories are now profiled through a new Delivery Knowledge and Skill listing to identify specific training methods or activities, settings for service delivery, the population group/s or health condition/s that registered exercise professionals can work with, together with details of the related education. For example group exercise or personal training carried out in an aquatic setting; group exercise, gym instruction or personal training delivered to Older Adults or Children; a personal trainer who can deliver boxing, kettlebells or suspension training.
