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.

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.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
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:
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 Procedure - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
