What is EREPS and why does it matter in Lebanon?

Where are the practical sessions held?
Practical workshops are held at our sister facility, Performance First, Baabda. Full gym equipment, assessment lab, and live-client floor hours are part of the diploma.
When does the next cohort start?
Personal Trainer (both tracks) and Post-Rehab Specialist start early December 2026. Swimming Level 1: next cohort January 2027, early registration open. Self-Learning starts any time · message us on WhatsApp for the full calendar.
Do I get a job after I graduate?
EREPS registration opens doors at Lebanese and regional gyms. SAS Coaching Diploma graduates are actively placed via Performance First's hiring network and our employer partnerships across Beirut.
Can I take more than one diploma?
Yes. Most working coaches stack: PT + Post-Rehab is the most common combination. Multi-diploma discounts available · ask for a custom quote.
