Course overview
The Bachelor of Sport Coaching (Strength and Conditioning) offers a unique mix of coaching, sport science, business subjects and a variety of generic professional skills.
More than just knowledge-based, the course incorporates a focus on problem-solving. 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 highly-trained experts who bring industry experience to help provide context to theoretical and practical subjects.
Students attend practical classes to balance theory and enhance the learning experience. This provides further opportunities for mastery of subject material and assists with the development of practical application of theory in each unit of study.
While some subjects require mid-term and final exams, assessments may also comprise online quizzes, essay writing and tutorial presentations. Students enrolled in an online subject sit their final exam at the college or under external supervision.
