Accreditations

Proudly partnered with

The National Performance Register is maintained by eta – a college specialising in sport and fitness qualifications. With campuses located throughout South Africa, eta conducts fitness tests on a range of athletes from Grade 9 to 12 learners to international sport athletes. This extensive pool of data allows more precise performance benchmarks and therefore more accurate ratings and comparisons.

eta is recognised by REPSSA, which is the South African register of qualified exercise professionals that aligns to the professional standards of REPS internationally. REPS operates in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Europe and, as a member of REPSSA, you are automatically recognised by the other REPS professional registers overseas; thus you are able to work in all REPS based countries. SASCOC Coaches Framework – South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee – a register of professional sport coaches As REPSSA has become the South African register of exercise professionals, the SASCOC has developed its framework for sport coaches. There will soon be a national framework for sport coaches – from volunteer coaches to coaches of elite athletes and teams, and this framework will incorporate a register of licensed sport coaches.
