About the Sport Performance Institute
The Sport Performance Institute (SPI) is a fitness and sports education organization. SPI provides a variety of educational programs to personal trainers, group fitness (aerobics) instructors, coaches, strength training specialists, physical education teachers and the general population, in Canada, the Middle East and China.
The founders of SPI have worked with over 20 Olympic and professional teams; they have, also, assisted in producing 29 Olympic and over 100 World Championship medalists. Using only the latest in scientific research, SPI has developed the most in-depth series of courses available.
SPI programs are designed to provide educational opportunities for fitness professionals who do not have time to complete a university degree but desire more knowledge than what is offered by other educational organizations. The depth of knowledge that SPI graduates obtain is impressive. As a matter of fact, many of the topics covered in the SPI certification programs are not covered in most University degree programs.
ACSM Approved Provider: The American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) Professional Education Committee certifies that "Sport Performance Institute" meets the criteria for official ACSM Approved Provider status. Providership # 763591.
SPI will provide to attendees ACSM Approved Continuing Education Credits (CECs) so that they may document the number of CECs earned from each course or Workshop. Proof of continuing education is required to renew any International Fitness Certification.
ERPES and REPs UAE: SPI certifications are internationally recognized and fully accredited as well by EuropeActive / EREPS (EQF Level 3 and Level 4) and REPs UAE for the Category A Personal Trainer. For a student to become a Certified Personal Trainer he/she would be required to accomplish the SPI qualifications of “Training for Health & Fitness” alongside “Advanced Weight Training Techniques”. SPI will also provide attendees REPs UAE CPDs (Continuing Professional Development), which is needed in the Emirates for trainers to renew their REPs registration.
