National Certificate in Strength and Conditioning (NCSC)

Description

EPI's National Certificate in Strength & Conditioning (NCSC) Course is based on the best evidence based practice and over 15 years experience working with athletes from all levels. Established in 2012, the NCSC Course has been educating coaches, trainers and healthcare practitoners from around the world and has become the proven course for those looking to become a qualified Strength & Conditioning coach.

Many coaches coming on this course are qualified PT's, physiotherapists or sports coaches. However, they don't have the specific training in sports performance. Our goal is to give coaches the underpinning knowledge and practical coaching skills to help improve your athlete or teams level of performance. We'll show you how to make them stronger, faster, fitter and more robust to injury. The NCSC Course focuses on our four pillars: Movement, Strength, Fitness and Recovery. With our 8-step-approach training system, use of technical and coaching models for movement skill development, course participants can seemlessly apply our content into their coaching environment.

The NCSC Course contains more than more than 16 hours of video content with 24 modules and 13 detailed presentations. Each presentation emphasizes a theoretical framework, a program design framework, and best practices around coaching. There is also additional reading material contained in your electronic manuals to support your lecture content. Each practical is filmed from a coach’s perspective and emphasizes key coaching points, demonstration skills, cueing, progressions and regressions.

The NCSC Course has been designed to optimize your learning experience and allow for clarity across all key topics in Strength & Conditioning. All course videos have been chaptered with great detail to allow for easy navigation. Once all of the modules within the curriculum have been completed, then the certification exam will be made available. The certification exam contains 80 multiple choice questions based on Phase 1&2 content only. Two opportunities to pass the exam with a passing grade being based on an 70% or better are included in your purchase.

Upon successful completion of the exam you will be an EPI-NCSC Coach. We look forward to having you become become a certified Strength and Conditioning Coach and join the EPI team.
