For most revalidation courses, you are required to upload a number of examples that show your understanding of the work you are undertaking. These take the form of certification/scenario exercises.

Certification exercises

Certification exercises (for the export courses) and scenario exercises (for OCQ(V) - SSr and OCQ(V) - TTr) will be provided in the courses, along with instructions on how to complete these. The exercises will give specific examples or outline certain scenarios related to the qualification that you are undertaking, which you will be required to respond to in order to prove your knowledge and understanding of the area.

Completed exercises must be uploaded to the 'Certification exercises' or ‘Case logs/scenarios’ section of your Personal Training Dashboard.

Internal Verification

There is a process of Internal Verification (IV), during which ISVPS will sample 10% of certification exercises within one month of completion of all revalidation requirements. If your certification exercises are in the sample chosen and do not meet the required standard, you will be contacted by ISVPS and offered an opportunity to update them to a satisfactory condition. If they are updated satisfactorily within one month, then no further action will be required. However, if they are not updated satisfactorily within the required time, this will be reported to APHA, who will review your case and may suspend or revoke your OV status. Please note – the ultimate jurisdiction lies with APHA.
