What is CIMSPA and why are CIMSPA points important?
CIMSPA (the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity) is the professional body for the United Kingdom’s sports and physical activity sector. CIMSPA’s focus is on inspiring the nation to become more active through supporting, developing and enabling professionals and organisations to succeed.
By being a member of CIMSPA, fitness professionals are able to show that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and qualifications to practice. To ensure that fitness professionals remain up to date with training, CIMSPA members are required to earn 10 or more CIMSPA points through a variety of activities. CIMSPA-accredited Continued Professional Development courses (CPDs) help you earn these points to keep accreditation and learn useful skills.
As a CIMSPA partner, it means that we deliver quality-assured CPDs that are endorsed by the sport and physical activity’s only chartered professional body.
