8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Professional Practice, Ethics and Jurisprudence
Map the regulated scope of practice for a registered kinesiologist against unregulated titles and delegable tasks
Distinguish statutory obligations (consent, privacy, mandatory reporting, record retention) from employer policy and professional-guideline expectations
Draft a four-step decision framework for resolving an ethical conflict between client autonomy, beneficence, and business pressure
Define 40 jurisprudence and ethics terms from memory in your own words without consulting notes
Your checkpoint
One-page ethics decision tree plus a 40-term glossary, validated by a closed-book self-quiz scored at 85% or higher
Professional Practice, Ethics and Jurisprudence & Client Assessment and Evaluation
Apply consent, capacity, and confidentiality rules to five written practice scenarios and justify each conclusion with a rule citation
Audit a sample client file against documentation standards and list every omission
Identify the components of a complete intake: health history, red flags, medication review, and readiness screening
Recognize when to refer out and articulate the referral trigger in writing
Your checkpoint
Five scenario analyses (200 words each) plus one annotated file audit checklist with at least 15 criteria
Client Assessment and Evaluation
Select validated outcome measures matched to three distinct functional goals
Interpret reliability, validity, minimal detectable change, and minimal clinically important difference for two instruments you chose
Perform risk stratification on four client vignettes and assign each a supervision level
Assemble a screening battery that fits inside a 45-minute session without losing essential data
Your checkpoint
An assessment battery table covering three client profiles, with instrument rationale, psychometric evidence, and time budget per item
Client Assessment and Evaluation & Exercise Prescription and Program Design
Translate assessment findings into defensible exercise starting points for three cases
Convert raw strength and endurance results into load, volume, and intensity targets using established formulae
Sequence baseline testing, program initiation, and retesting on one timeline
Complete a timed mixed-domain question set and categorize every error by root cause
Your checkpoint
Three assessment-to-prescription case write-ups plus a scored error log from the timed practice set
Exercise Prescription and Program Design
Apply frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression to four different condition profiles
Write explicit progression and regression rules that a colleague could execute without further instruction
Calculate estimated one-repetition maximum, training loads, and metabolic equivalents for prescribed work
Design a 12-week periodized plan with defined deload and reassessment points
Your checkpoint
Two complete 12-week programs, each with a progression-rules table and a contraindication screen
Exercise Prescription and Program Design & Health Promotion, Disease Prevention and Condition Management
Adapt exercise prescription for three common comorbidities without abandoning the primary training goal
Justify exercise as a preventive intervention using epidemiological evidence rather than anecdote
Identify when a client's condition requires co-management and specify what information to exchange
Revise an existing program after a simulated adverse event and document the clinical reasoning
Your checkpoint

Interpret population-level physical activity data and state its limits for an individual client
Build a relapse-prevention and self-monitoring plan the client could run without you
Your checkpoint

Communication and Interprofessional Collaboration & Health Promotion, Disease Prevention and Condition Management
Deliver structured handovers using a standard communication framework in four simulated interprofessional scenarios
Resolve two interprofessional conflict scenarios while preserving scope boundaries and client trust
Explain kinesiology's distinct contribution to a physician, a physiotherapist, and a client in plain language
Complete two full-length timed mock exams and convert every error into a one-line review card
Your checkpoint
Four recorded or scripted handovers with a self-scored rubric, plus a 60-card error review deck covering all five domains
Milestones
Week 2: Closed-book jurisprudence quiz at 85% or higher, and all five scenario analyses cite a specific rule rather than general opinion
Week 4: Timed mixed-domain set on domains 1 and 3 completed at 70% or higher, with every error logged by cause
Week 4: Three assessment-to-prescription case write-ups completed and peer- or mentor-reviewed with written feedback returned
Week 6: Two full 12-week programs reviewed against a contraindication checklist with zero unresolved safety flags
Week 6: Practice exam on domains 3 and 4 at 70% or higher
Week 8: Two full-length mock exams completed under time, with an upward trend and no domain scoring below 60%
Week 8: All eight deliverables filed in one portfolio and every domain has at least one identified weak area with a review action
