This brand-new Training Academy empowers individuals and businesses to access the highest quality training & development opportunities through a select number of carefully chosen partners – all of which have achieved the prestigious CIMSPA “Enhancing” status – which is CIMSPA’s highest Quality Assurance outcome.
Created by CIMSPA, the Training Academy for Sport and Physical Activity has been designed in collaboration with employers, education providers and sector professionals to provide a “one stop shop” portal of quality-assured “enhancing rated” CPD and training. Access to such a resource is ideal for existing sector professionals looking to upskill or those looking to embark on a career in the active leisure industry.
Study Active will be working with some fellow “Enhancing” rated education providers in a “stronger together” approach that aims to be a gamechanger in how quality-assured training is found and accessed.
All of the qualifications and CPD on offer through the Training Academy, including Study Active’s Level 3 Personal Trainer Course, have been endorsed and mapped to CIMSPA Professional Standards meaning that delegates will have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies that respond to both client and employer needs.
James Luscombe, Managing Director of Study Active commented:” We are thrilled to be founding members of such an exciting new chapter for industry-ready, quality-assured training. The Study Active team are extremely proud of achieving the prestigious “Enhancing” status earlier this year and now look forward to collaborating with CIMSPA and like-minded providers who want to set the bar high- and drive-up standards within our sector”
Tara Dillon, CEO of CIMSPA stated: “As we launch the Training Academy for Sport and Physical Activity, we are delighted that Study Active has become one of the first Education Partners to offer their provision through the Training Academy. Study Active have embraced our quality assurance framework, achieving 3-star Enhancing status which demonstrates their commitment to the highest quality provision. The training and professional development opportunities offered as part of the Training Academy are only delivered by providers like Study Active that have achieved 3-star status so both learners and employers know that they are getting the best possible experience.”
The CIMSPA Training Academy for Sport & Physical Activity launched on 2nd July so now individuals and employers alike can visit the Training Academy to view a diverse range of accessible, flexible and quality-assured development opportunities.
