- For more details on REPs see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, which includes details on how the standards REPs use were set. FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION.
- REPs is a non-profit body that operates independently, and is governed by a board of directors..
More than a qualification
A person registering with REPs must meet three criteria, and continue to meet them each year when they re-register:
- 1. Initial Qualifications ensuring they are competent to undertake their role.
- 2. Ongoing education to ensure they keep up to date (including first aid and/or CPR).
- 3. Follow the REPs Code of Conduct to protect all involved.
