Description
This subject requires students to undertake pre-preparatory coursework followed by a professional practicum experience that aligns with the Exercise Science Practicum Guidelines specified by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). This experience enables students to consolidate learning and to develop practical skills relevant to future work as an entry-level exercise science practitioner. The student focus is on attaining competency in exercise assessment, prescription and delivery. Practicum experiences also provide the opportunity for students to apply their sport and exercise science knowledge in activities across areas that reflect the ESSA Exercise Science Standards. In total, students complete a minimum of 80 hours of unpaid practicum work. Throughout their time in this subject, formative and summative assessment tasks are undertaken which facilitate the growth and application of practical skills, specifically within the ESSA Accredited Exercise Scientist (AES) Scope of Practice. Students maintain and submit a detailed ESSA logbook of all practicum experience activities, as well as an ESSA Record of Student Engagement. A comprehensive workplace evaluation of their performance from the workplace supervisor is also obtained.
