Managing Professional Development with FITREC

Not only does FITREC provide the means to ensure professional development is taking place, the way we recognise education addresses many challenges faced by fitness employers and professionals.

Staff acquisition and retention can be directly influenced by the way in which we manage professional development. We often hear that traditional CEC/PDP accumulation is expensive, limited in scope and has been responsible for lost staff as well as presenting an obstacle to returning staff. 

FITREC's approach to professional development, by contrast, provides a professionals with a more positive and encouraging experience, and provides employers with a more functional tool for managing team development.

Ensure your registered professionals maintain 100/100 for Education.

FITREC has introduced a benchmark rating for all registered professionals that takes into account Education, Experience and References. Each of these elements are rated out of 100 and are visible on every registered professional’s profile.

Education ratings depreciate over time, so a score of 100 does not stay at 100 without adding further learning.

Does FITREC assess all courses?

FITREC confirms that courses are professionally run and provide meaningful contribution to a professional’s development. FITREC also solicits feedback and a rating from all professionals when adding courses to their profile so that we can gain more insight into the value of the course from those that have taken part.

Regarding the allocation of points, FITREC looks at education in terms of value to the employer.

Put simply; ‘Is this learning event a required qualification?’ (LEVEL A) or ‘is it an addition to / consolidation of existing learning?’ (LEVEL B). Or maybe its contribution is positive, but limited (LEVEL C). Each of these levels contributes a different amount to a professional’s Education score.

In our hyper-connected and information-rich world, the issue is less ‘what is being learned?’ and more ‘is any structured learning taking place at all?’

Following are some of the additional benefits for employers…

Certificates for courses are included on FITREC profiles for convenience.

Employers can be notified of depreciating scores by subscribing to the profiles of FITREC registered professionals.

FITREC recognises a wider variety of courses, allowing professionals to focus on specialisations, rather than points.

It is less costly for professionals to maintain a 100/100 rating than it is to accumulate CEC/PDP.

FITREC has provided the fitness industry with an entirely new and considered approach to registration. 

We understand the voluntary nature of registration in our self-regulated industry and have focused on the delivery of a service with genuine utility for all.
