This course is practically oriented and utilises knowledge and skills developed from a range of related disciplines relevant to health, exercise and sport. The main focus of the course will be for students to develop knowledge and skills to be able to competently conduct a range of specified health and exercise related assessments and to be able to calibrate, maintain and effectively use testing equipment.
