Joining – ICREPS

Joining ICREPS

ICREPS Is A Membership Based Organisation

Its members are all national registers that meet the following criteria.

Operate (or are soon to operate) a registration system in a country.
Independent to all training providers.
Non-profit.
Supported by the exercise/fitness industry.

Organisations that do not yet meet all of the above criteria, but are working towards it, may join as a provisional member (as long as there are no existing full member in that country).

Registers that operate in an area smaller than a country (such as a Provence or State) where there is no national register, may also apply for provisional membership. This is explained in more detail in the Guide to ICREPs Structure and Operations form below.

One Registration System Per Country

ICREPs supports the development of one registration system per country. Where more than one registration system meets the above criteria, the system that has the most quantifiable industry support will be recognised by ICREPs. For more information on joining ICREPs, please contact us.

Organisations that wish to enquire further about membership should contact ICREPs. A detailed application from can be provided that outlines ICREPs criteria in more detail, as well as the principles on which ICREPs is based.
