to tackle inactivity
If we are important, in demand, and growing then why is our career pathway in need of repair?
Without a career pathway we will always struggle with attracting and retaining talent.

Trailblazer
A successful Trailblazer programme is now operating across the sector, this group is now the route to review and develop apprenticeship standards
QCF
Removal of the QCF will create significant upheaval with no means of managing variances of delivery across AOs
Skills Gaps
Increasing awareness that exercise professionals must change if they are to be sustainable
CIMSPA
CIMSPA is an increasingly influential body, leading the design of standards, endorsement of CPD and qualifications for management professionals
Employers
Employers are being encouraged to take their own SFA contract and take “ownership of the skills system” but are confused as to how. Few are taking training in-house (Fitness First)
Business Models
New business models are being created in response to key sector wide developments such as transfer of public health responsibility to local authorities
We need to fundamentally change the way learners view working in the sector, in order to achieve the same credibility as other professions

Numerous different areas require review, but which first?
� Assessment methods of exercise professionals?
� Competencies within our flagship exercise roles?
� Apprenticeship funding and future mandatory cash contributions?
� Employer design of qualifications?
� Partnerships with fellow professions?
