What It's All About

The UKSCA Accreditation is one of the most sought after accreditations in the profession. It is recognised in the UK, the USA, Australia and all accross europe.

It is the only S&C accreditation process where you need to attend an assessment day and demonstrate your competence to a group of assessors who haven't previously seen your work and who haven't taught you.

They are simply asking themselves the question "do I think this person is sufficiently competent for the UKSCA to endorse them?"

Sounds simple right?

But there is no challenge like it!

Less than 5% of people pass all 4 components first time. Then only 25% of people pass 3/4 components.

It's nothing to be scared of! You just can't rock up and wing it...

Achieving your Accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach (ASCC) status will help you stand out from the crowd and help others know that they can trust your skills

But, the process is daunting, IF you are on your own.

At the moment you're probably apprehensive, a little concerned about the pass rate and just hoping you can make it through. Wouldn't you prefer to arrive on the day with confidence that you are fully prepared?

The most important thing is you find some support/help and are kept accountable to develop through the process!

Avoid the common outcome of having three or four components to re-sit because you said the wrong thing, missed key principles, and weren't seen as competent. You don't want to be unprepared or make silly mistakes, eventually wasting your own time and money.

This Accelerator is all about helping YOU take the next step in your career

We help you to walk into the UKSCA assessment day with confidence and clarity

We help you to walk out having passed all four components and entering into the elusive 5%!

FAQ's

How does this fit with the UKSCA workshops?

The workshops are designed as education opportunities for those who need to learn the content. However, if you've already completed your BSc or MSc in S&C or even all the workshops, you still need some support, guidance and mentoring to enhance your chances of succeeding in the process. Afterall, having been taught the content doesn't guarentee your ability to use it or explain it in an assessment process

Can you support me 1 on 1?

There will be individual feedback, and an opportunity to get all of your questions answered. The programme will run as a group where you can also learn from what other candidates are doing and finding useful. 1 on 1 mock assessments can be organised throughout the process.

Who is this suitable for?

To make the most of the programme, you'll need to have the Accreditation day on your radar in the next 12-months. You should have some foundational education and we will help you optimise your preparation over time.

What if I don't pass the assessment and need more help?

Don't worry, you can stay in the group for as long as you need and take advantage of the coaching and support.

Can you guarentee I'll pass the assessments?

No, on the day it is all about what you do, what you say and what confidence you give the assessor in your ability. We'll provide you the best possible preparation but only you can execute when its needed
