New joint President of the EHFA and EREPS (European Register of Exercise Professionals), Harm Tegelaars, is making EREPS development one of his top priorities.

An office is being opened in Brussels and is expected to lead the way for expansion throughout Belgium, Portugal and Sweden within the next few months and to fit alongside the UK.

There will be no change to how REPS UK operates or the standards it uses, but it will mean that members of the Register will automatically become members of EREPS.

REPS UK is helping with setting-up the processes for EREPS and is advising on IT requirements.
