Important: Brookbush Institute offers two different CPT pathways. The BI-CPT is a Brookbush Institute educational credential included with membership and earned through a credit-based and iterative testing process. The CPT certification exam is a separate standalone proctored exam available online or in person.

Accreditation can be confusing, and questions like this really highlight how convoluted the accreditation industry has become. Our courses are approved by REPs UK and now CIMSPA who is taking-over REPs UK. This ensures our courses are approved for continuing professional development (CPD) credits for registered exercise professionals.
However, the regulations around becoming a registered exercise professional are separate.
We are not approved to develop, test and certify individuals who wish to become exercise professionals in the UK. We are investigating how we may be able to contribute to becoming a provider of the regulated development of a registered exercise professional in the UK, but we are still in early stages of this work. (Note, we are a USA based company)
