Level 3 Strength & Conditioning Course
This robust and widely recognized Level 3 qualification serves as a fantastic vehicle to achieve great success working with athletes and individuals in the fitness world. The course covers a range of areas that are essential to practicing as a Strength and Conditioning coach.
We are proud of our team of experienced Strength and Conditioning coaches who have worked with athletes from a range of sports and from all levels from complete beginner to international athletes. The course is intended to balance the theory and science of training, with extensive practical activities, to help develop practical experience in a training setting.
This course is adopting a blended learning format, where students will have access to a comprehensive package of pre-course, online materials, which will supplement activities completed over the course of an intensively taught, hands-on weekend.
Some elements of the required assessment will take place during the teaching weekend, while the final practical assessments will be scheduled 4 weeks after the course on a Saturday or Sunday. This will entail the delivery of a practical session and 12-week training programme.
