THE PROBLEM
Why ESWA Exists
Europe has free movement of workers. But fitness professionals face a frustrating reality.
"Your diploma is not valid here in this country."
Not recognized across borders
"Sorry, we don't recognize that certification."
No standardized credential verification
"You'll need to retake the entire course form the start."
Redundant training requirements
ESWA Changes This
Eswa’s mission is to promote the activities of public and private organizations that value sport as an indispensable tool for the protection of health and psychophysical well-being.
