PSP Training Centre

Our Vision

In these changing and dynamic times, our Team will pursue the highest level of excellence in the provision of responsive and cost-effective training and the development of innovative teaching methods that increase motivation, retention and enjoyment among our students.

Physical Fitness Training (PFT) is important for all members of the Department of National Defence (DND). However, it is also important to provide training that improves the quality of life of Canadian Forces (CF) personnel and their families. The PSP Training Centre — which replaced the Canadian Forces School of Physical Education and Recreation (CFSPER) — is a train-the-trainer institute at CFB Borden with both a mandate and courses designed to meet these needs.

This site offers information on courses available to assist both you and your staff in meeting your physical fitness training goals. Whether the course is Basic Fitness Training Assistant, Advanced Fitness Training Assistant, Unit Sport and Fitness Officer, PSP Fitness Instructor Course or the Physical Exercise Specialist Indoctrination course, leaders at all levels need to ensure that troops are provided with high-quality training that is delivered in a professional, effective, and safe manner.

Graduates of the PSP Training Centre courses are motivated to plan, administer, and/or improve unit PFT and other programs by organizing a wide variety of activities and challenges, in conjunction with base PSP personnel.

If you or your staff would like to initiate the nomination process and attend the Basic Fitness Training Assistant, Advanced Fitness Training Assistant or the Unit Sport and Fitness Officer course, the PSP Training Centre schedule of serials is available through MITE (G3 Individual Training). Nominations for the PSP courses are handled through your local Fitness and Sports office.
