Build Your Career
Broaden your Impact
Expanding your specialties strengthens your fitness career and helps you stand out. It broadens your skills, opens new opportunities, and keeps you current with evolving trends in health, wellness, and active living.
As an added bonus, a new specialty counts toward your Continuing Education Credits (CECs). These credits are a key part of maintaining your BCRPA Fitness Registration and show your ongoing commitment to excellence in the field.
Adding Additional Core Specialties
After completing your first core specialty, you can add others like aquatic fitness or weight training any time. Keep learning, growing, and expanding your expertise across multiple fitness disciplines!
To complete additional specialities there’s no need to retake the Fitness Theory Exam or re-register. Simply:
- Complete the Specialty Course of your choice.
- Complete the Practicum (if applicable) and ICE.
Adding Advanced Specialties
Ready to level up your expertise? Advance your career with an advanced specialty in Personal Training, Older Adult Fitness, or Osteofit—designed to deepen your knowledge and expand who you can support.
To pursue a BCRPA Advanced Specialty, you must already be registered in a core specialty. There’s no need to retake the Fitness Theory Exam or re-register.
Simply follow these steps:
- Complete the prerequisites for the Advanced Specialty Course.
- Complete the Advanced Specialty Course of your choice.
- Complete the written exam.
- Complete the Practicum (if applicable) and ICE.
