Awarding bodies

Awarding bodies essentially insure that the training provided by universities and colleges, health clubs and fitness training providers is of a certain standard. Subscribing to and completing a course assessed by a recognised awarding body means that a course graduate can provide evidence of a required level of competence, essential when trying to gain REPs accreditation or trying to find employment within the UK health and fitness sector.

The main awarding bodies within the UK are listed below.
