    personal trainer

    hi. i got some questions about personal trainers that confused me.
    first i woudl like to know what are those "REPS"? - here is a example from a notice i 've found
    "If you hold qualifications to personal train, are registered with REPS (level3) and evidence of a working knowledge then please apply"
    the second one is what are those levels" 1, 2, 3?
    in many notice we can read something like this"
    "Relevant fitness qualifications equivalent to NVQ level 2.
    i just wonder what it is because at https://www.issaonline.com/ i can only
    make a Personal Trainer Certification and there is nothing about levels.
    by the way which company should i choose to make a certification?
    https://www.issaonline.com/
    or
    http://www.afpafitness.com/
    or maybe you got something better in mind?

    By the way Index, I was kidding about KONAN...Do not EVER ask him for advice on anything related to bodybuilding.

    there are several certifications, is there a gym or club you have in mind that you would like to train at? if so, I would ask them which certifications they accept and go from there.

    National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs and SVQ's in Scotland) are based on a set of national standards which specify the kind of competence needed in particular occupations, i.e. what people in those occupations actually have to do. These standards of competence were developed by The Construction Industry Council (CIC) which represents the key organisations in the construction industry.
    The NVQ/SVQ framework covers five levels from the basic skills to advanced professional and managerial roles. Each NVQ provides a breakdown of the experience and knowledge needed, against which a candidate capabilities can be evaluated through the assessment of a portfolio of evidence.

    You also go beyond the call of duty (no pun intended) since you meet the G.H.E.Y requirements too.
