Your BACPR EXERCISE INSTRUCTOR NETWORK NEEDS YOU!
What is the BACPR Exercise Instructor Network?
The Exercise Instructor Network (EIN) which was first established in 2002, has now become a formal
subgroup of the BACPR, to support graduates from the BACPR Exercise Instructor Qualification. The EIN
group is led by a committee of dedicated BACPR qualified Exercise Instructors. Members of the EIN
committee also contribute to the BACPR Exercise Instructor training steering committee and BACPR
Exercise Professional Group.
What are the aims of the BACPR Exercise Instructor Network?
The aims of the EIN are as follows:
• Support new and existing BACPR exercise instructors
• Provide networking opportunities at study days and conferences
• Act as a resource for information
• Provide updates to members
• Facilitate affordable workshops for continual professional development. Contribute to the development of
educational opportunities and a framework of competences for exercise specialists working within
cardiovascular disease prevention and rehabilitation
