Professional accreditation with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) requires students to undertake a total of 140 hours of professional placement in a sport and exercise setting. At the UniSQ, 140 hours of placement are undertaken across three placement courses during the program of study. Professional Placement 3 is the third and final exercise science placement course and requires students to undertake 100 hours of professional practice. The course further develops the knowledge and skills learned in previous placements. The ability to apply knowledge and skills in an ethically responsible and risk managed manner is required.

The third placement course provides students with the opportunity to develop the ability to communicate theoretical knowledge and to apply practical skills in a proficient manner. The course outlines opportunities to value add to professional skills developed during the course and as a practitioner. The importance of evidence-based research and the ability to draw together knowledge and skills from different discipline areas is outlined. Effective time management skills and work-related documentation processes to ensure successful completion of the course are provided during the program of study.

Students are required to pass all assessment items in the course in order to pass the course overall.

On completion of this course students will be able to:

1. Competently apply exercise science knowledge and skills in a professional work setting (including exercise assessment, exercise prescription, exercise delivery and risk management).
2. Practice with integrity within exercise science scope and identify when to refer clients to relevant medical or allied health professionals.
3. Practice in an ethical manner and in accordance with legislation and regulations that apply to exercise science settings, including the ESSA code of conduct (especially in relation to privacy, consent and record keeping).
4. Compile relevant professional practice documentation at a graduate exercise scientist level and prepare and/or interpret client management reports.
5. Engage in a critical reflection of professional practice for ongoing improvement (particularly in the area of meeting client goals).
6. Demonstrate highly effective communication (verbal and nonverbal) skills in interactions with supervisors, colleagues and clients.
7. Demonstrate a high level of professional presentation and display a high level of evidence-based knowledge and skills drawn from interactions with other discipline areas.
