Students further their understanding of theoretical concepts of strength and conditioning by undertaking a two-week series of workshops and practical experiences on the Joondalup campus. Completion of this unit enables students to meet the requirements of the ASCA Strength Coaching Accreditation Process.
Students are required to participate in an intensive two week workshop held at the Joondalup campus. The off-campus option is only available for graduating students under government travel restrictions.
Students must have passed SPS5113, SPS5133 and SPS6104.
Unit was previously coded SPS4100
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students undertake an activity in collaboration or consultation with an industry partner but do not spend any time or only a very small amount of time (e.g. 1-2 short visits) in an actual workplace.
The unit is an intensive on-campus practicum experience in which students engage with strength and conditioning professionals from a variety of backgrounds. Students will be required to participate in a variety of activities which align with the National Strength and Conditioning Association Certification and the Australia Strength and Conditioning Association Level 2 Accreditation. Learning activities and assignments will develop communication and analytical abilities as well as provide opportunities to discover, discuss and apply theory in a meaningful context. Students will engage in the unit by participating in intensive applied activities which address the key competencies outlined by the major professional organisations which govern strength and conditioning

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
