Higher Certificate in Applied Sports Science with Strength and Conditioning

The Higher Certificate in Applied Sports Science with Strength and Conditioning offers an in-depth education on this growing area of interest, both in Ireland and internationally. The Strength and Conditioning Coach is becoming a central and key figure in preparing and advancing the fitness and performance status of the individual athlete and team both in professional sport and also in amateur and recreational sport. Throughout the course, students will explore the exciting and dynamic sport science environment with strength and conditioning as the main focus. Key sport science areas such as physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, performance technology and psychology, will be studied each year. In addition to this, specific strength and conditioning modules such as resistance training, weightlifting, training for power and force production, periodisation and monitoring and recovery will be studied, giving you the knowledge and skills to be a formidable candidate for any career path you may choose to pursue in the area. To further enhance your employability, there are opportunities to complete an internationally recognised gym-based certification and personal training certification through ITEC. An inter-disciplinary approach is a must in today’s sporting environment and this course will prepare you for this through modules such as problem based learning and current concepts. Furthermore, up to 50% of each module is practical based, to ensure that you are developing the hands-on skills required to be an excellent strength and conditioning practitioner as you progress through each year of the programme.
