professional experience
Professional Experience and voluntary community engagement is a vital component of all ACPE courses and reflects the college’s philosophy of applied learning
Professional Experience allows students to make informed careers decisions and provides an opportunity to establish a professional profile in their chosen field. The college maintains strong partnerships in many sport-related sectors, and these translate into meaningful and relevant work experience opportunities for students.
Depending on their chosen course of study, students gain valuable experience in one of the following areas –
- Health & Movement: Voluntary community engagement experience; those who choose to continue their studies with a Graduate Diploma of Education participate in school-based placements
- Dance Education: Primary and secondary schools for four professional placements
- Applied Fitness: Fitness centre franchises such as Fitness First and Vision Personal Training
- Sports Coaching & Administration and Sports Business: Seminars and workplace visits, in addition to a professional placement
