This Program teaches about the management and organisation of the wide range of sport, recreation and leisure activities, and managing and leading sport and leisure centres and clubs. It explains duties and responsibilities towards individuals and groups of all levels, how to provide sport and recreation services professionally and safely, and the Program teaches about sport and fitness programs, exercise and health.
The design of this new Program is two-fold:
* It provides professional training for owners and managerial staff of organizations providing recreational sport and leisure facilities, including coaches, trainers and fitness/leisure personnel. Whether a facility is in the public sector, in the commercial sector, or is not-for-profit or voluntary, proficient management is vital for the enjoyment and safety of users, as well as to earn sufficient revenue to ensure its continuation.
* Uniquely, it covers the recruitment, training and supervision of sport and leisure personnel to ensure customer satisfaction, and to maintain excellent relations with - and ongoing sales to - existing and potential customers, sponsors and event organisers.
