Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Exercise Rehabilitation aims to provide graduates with a greater understanding of how exercise can be used to prevent and rehabilitate those with chronic disease and injury in the broader community. It also provides critical clinical skills necessary for the assessment of these individuals.
While the Graduate Certificate in Exercise Rehabilitation does not result in accreditation as an Exercise Physiologist, it does provide the theoretical foundation for both the Graduate Diploma in Exercise Rehabilitation and the Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology.
Many graduates work within local gyms and community programs with both healthy and apparently healthy individuals, as well as with corporate wellness and health promotion programs within the corporate and health sectors. Additionally, the clinical skills acquired in this program allows graduates to apply for cardiac and clinical technology jobs within the healthcare profession.
