Professional status
Professional status is a game-changer for individuals working in sport and physical activity. It makes career paths in the sector more visible and easier to navigate. It’s a framework founded on high-quality training aligned with employer needs. It gives individuals the tools to demonstrate their skills and knowledge to employers, clients, peers and everyone else.
Professional status supports recognition of the expertise of those working in our sector. Find out more about how professional status can benefit your organisation and release the power of our profession.
