About the course

The course offers a unique mix of coaching, sport science and business subjects, along with a variety of generic professional skills.

More than being simply knowledge-based, the course incorporates a strong problem-solving focus. The result is a flexible foundation upon which students build the key competencies appropriate to highly successful sports coaches and strength and conditioning specialists.

Classes are taught by experts who are highly trained in their fields and who bring their own industry experience to help provide context to theoretical and practical subjects.

To balance the theory portion and enhance the learning experience, students attend practical classes. This will provide further opportunities for mastery of subject material and assist with development of practical application of the theory in each unit of study.

While some subjects require mid-term and final exams, assessments may also comprise online quiz questions, essay writing and tutorial presentations. Students enrolled in an online subject sit their final exam at the College or under external supervision.
