Did you know you could use your post-secondary education for BCRPA Fitness Leader certifications<\/a>? This is if you have a degree related to health and fitness, such as physical education. You can apply for a course bypass, which lets you skip certain specialty module courses. From here, you can directly write the practical exam called ICE, which stands for the Instructor Competency Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BCRPA Course Bypass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To qualify, the courses you took must cover components of the BCRPA course you are trying to bypass. This depends on the course syllabus and your transcript. Whether it\u2019s approved or not depends on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you performed poorly on a weight training course, you may not be able to bypass the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To apply, you\u2019ll need to complete and submit the\u00a0Course Bypass Application Form<\/a>. You will also need the unofficial transcripts and the course syllabus for the courses you are applying for the bypass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BCRPA will then review it to determine if the education you\u2019ve received in the past is equivalent.  If you are approved, you\u2019ll receive a letter outlining the next steps to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The course bypass lets you skip the course. However, you\u2019ll still need to pass the relevant exam or practical evaluation.  As a result, you may still need to review the materials again to refresh your memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can either dig up your old university notes and review those or enroll in our\u00a0Fitness Certification courses<\/a>. It has relevant information covered in the exams you\u2019ll be required to take.\u00a0 Students who have been approved for a course bypass are eligible for discounts on all of our programs \u2013\u00a0contact us<\/a>\u00a0to see if you\u2019re eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t have any relevant or can\u2019t apply for post-secondary education,\u00a0 you can still bypass certain BCRPA courses. This is if you have relevant certification in another jurisdiction recognized by the BCRPA.\u00a0 We\u2019ll discuss that in the next and final article of this series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
