A CIMSPA training provider partnership gives providers an opportunity to have their education and training reviewed against professional standards in the sport, fitness, leisure, and physical activity sector.
With a growing number of employers committing to only using CIMSPA recognised training, this provides a powerful ‘stamp of approval’ for both the partner organisation and their training offer.
Partnership applications are welcomed from all providers including private companies, further education colleges, universities, employers and independent consultants.
As a CIMSPA training provider partner we will recognise your business, enable your brand to share our reputation for quality, and integrate you within the CIMSPA professional network.
CIMSPA's recognition of your training activity will signify it's contribution to the development of an individual’s knowledge, skills and other competencies in support of professional and personal development. CIMSPA members, with the execpetion of Graduate and Student Members, are now required to carry out a set amount of CPD per membership year to maintain their professional status.
