Program assessors must hold a Certificate IV Training & Assessment (equivalent qualification & experience will be considered on a case by case basis) as well as relevant qualifications to the area they are assessing. Additionally, assessors are required to have a minimum of five (5) years’ experience relevant to the knowledge/skill area they are presenting.
Detailed, specific and accurate CVs must be submitted for all presenters. Certified copies of presenter qualifications must be included.
Note: the assessor does not have to be the same person as the presenter. If an online assessment is being provided it must be developed by an assessor that is qualified as stipulated above.
Fitness Australia provides continuous quality improvement (CQi) support to all education providers that enter the CE scheme. In the event that a program is not approved or if an education provider can improve upon their Quality Criteria score (and potentially the number of CECs allocated), the Technical Review Form will offer specific guidance about what further information is required or how the program/event content or delivery strategy can be improved to benefit registered exercise professionals and their clients.
Throughout the approval administration process, Fitness Australia will facilitate communication between the Assessor and the education provider until such time as the program has been approved or the education provider has decided not to continue with the application.
The Fitness Australia CEC Approval Guide will give you all the information you need to know to have your program or event approved for CECs, including Program approval fees.
Refer to Become a CEC Provider for more information.
