The educational goal of the NEPPE training is to prepare staff for remote implementation of physical activity programmes for pregnant and postpartum clients. The NEPPE training programme is consistent with the European educational standard “Exercise in pregnancy and postpartum”. There were three editions of IMPK-NEPPE: in May and November 2022 and March 2023. One of the successes of the NEPPE project was the wide interest in our training among exercise professionals from various countries. 332 candidates from 41 countries registered for the three editions of the training: Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, Philippines, Finland, Greece, Spain, Netherlands, Iran, Iceland , Canada, Kenya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Germany, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, Hungary, Italy, UK, Ivory Coast, USA, United Arab Emirates .
A total of 223 people successfully completed the recruitment process, 172 people completed the training, including 74 foreign students. An additional practical examination entitling to entry in the European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS) was passed by 120 participants.
The project was carried out by a group of world-class practitioners and scientists – a total of 32 experts from 18 countries.
