  The course is based at the Jordanstown campus delivered through six days of interactive lectures followed by the facilitation of individual mentoring and directed independent learning.

  On completion of the course participants will graduate with an Advanced Certificate in Performance Analysis and Coaching Practice equating to 60 credits at level 5.
