Who are we?
Founded in 1979, HFPA was one of the first organisations internationally, to recognise and act upon the need for representation and specialised training for the fitness industry.

Our Certificate and National Diploma in Exercise Science are also fully accredited by the FSC (Fitness Standards Council), based in the USA and Canada and represented internationally.

HFPA has been awarded "Affiliate" Status by the NBFE (National Board of Fitness Examiners) in the USA. HFPA graduates therefore qualify to write the NBFE examinations which we offer in South Africa.

The HFPA Exercise Science courses are now accredited by “Skills Active” in the UK who are the accrediting body for courses in Sport, Recreation & Fitness. With this accreditation we are now able to register with REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals). Our graduates can then register as Exercise Professionals with REPS, who are the registering bodies for Exercise Professionals in the UK, New Zealand & Australia (Fitness Australia) Board Exam.

We have recently become an accredited provider of  CYQ (United Kingdom Awarding Body) progammes and examinations. This means that our students qualify to write the CYQ exams, which will give them automatic registration onto the UK, European, Australian and New Zealand, REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals) and thus, gain employment in these countries without them having to undergo any further assessments or examinations.
