Sport for Confidence Recognised as Official CIMSPA Training Provider Partner

Sport for Confidence CIC is now an official CIMSPA Training Provider Partner, marking an important milestone in the organisation’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality education and workforce development across the sport, physical activity and health sectors. 

 

The partnership relates to content delivered through the Learning Arena, Sport for Confidence’s learning and development programme designed to support professionals in the use of inclusive physical activity as a therapeutic tool within their practice.  

 

Recognition as an official CIMSPA Training Provider Partner provides external validation that the Learning Arena’s content meets nationally recognised professional standards and aligns with the needs of the leisure, health and occupational therapy workforce. 

Emily Wingate, Business Development Manager, Sport for Confidence, says: “This partnership provides a quality kite mark for the content delivered through our Learning Arena and reiterates Sport for Confidence’s commitment to maintaining high educational standards that align with the requirements of the sectors we serve.” 

 

Natasha Schofield, Associate Director of Education and Career Development at CIMSPA, adds: “We’re pleased to welcome Sport for Confidence into the CIMSPA fold as an official Training Provider Partner. Occupational therapy can deliver a vast array of therapeutic benefits for health and wellbeing, particularly for those hard-to-reach individuals who traditionally struggle to engage with physical activity. So, it’s great news that Sport for Confidence will now be recognised for delivering quality assured and endorsed CPD in this field.” 

 

The partnership further strengthens Sport for Confidence’s position as a leader in the application of occupational therapy within physical activity settings, supporting the development of a skilled, confident and inclusive workforce across leisure, health and community environments. 

 

Sport for Confidence is in the process of making its initial content offer available through this new CIMSPA partnership and this content will be searchable via CIMSPA’s Careers Hub website. Where Learning Arena courses are formally CIMSPA-endorsed, professionals will be able to claim CIMSPA CPD points to support their professional development. and added to their professional education portfolio.
