The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity
CIMSPA is the professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector workforce, committed to supporting, developing, and enabling professionals and organisations to succeed and, as a result, inspire our nation to become more active.
We operate for public benefit through facilitating the development of regulatory and professional standards, endorsing and quality assuring education products and working locally with sector organisations, which help in shaping a respected and recognised sector.
CIMSPA can issue professional status to sport and physical activity professionals, which demonstrates that an individual is qualified, dedicated, and delivers excellent sport and physical activity experiences.
Our Royal Charter also allows CIMSPA to award Chartered Status to individuals who meet an occupational professional standard and have demonstrated their experience and impact as a professional in the sector. This is the highest level of recognition for individuals in the sector in the UK and signifies exemplar practice.
Together, we are developing a vibrant, UK-wide sport and physical activity sector, with the highest standards of service delivery.
