New EQF Levels 3 & 4 EHFA Standards

The EHFA Annual General Assembly, which took place in Essen on 23 April 2010, adopted the revised European Qualifications Framework levels 3 & 4 EHFA Standards for Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers, which can be dowloaded here.

The new standards reflect a greater need for emphasis on soft skills and work place competencies, as opposed to exclusive focus on issues of technical knowledge. EHFA will continue revising the old and developing new Standards in line with the European Qualification Framework.  This will make national referencing for vocational education training and higher education providers easier, and will aid the mobility of exercise professionals for employment and learning. 

The new Standards will support the development of the European Register for Exercise Professionals - EREPS that operates under the umbrella of EHFA.

If you are a training provider and wish to be accredited to the EHFA Standards, please refer to the EHFA Accreditation.
