Students will be provided with the opportunity to:

Apply and refine current knowledge and skills in exercise science
Develop new skills in areas such as communication and teamwork within an Exercise Science and inter-professional framework
Develop an awareness of workplace culture and expectations in Exercise Science
Develop specific technical competencies within an Exercise Science framework
Attain competency in exercise assessment, prescription and delivery and other exercise science area
Meet the minimum number of 140 practical hours, context and knowledge to achieve professional accreditation.

On completion of this topic, students will be expected to be able to:

Demonstrate effective application of knowledge and skills in a work context
Apply effective verbal and non-verbal communication skill
Apply the scope of practise for an exercise scientist, sport scientist and an exercise physiologist
