One of our goals in Kinesiology Programs is to link some of our courses with certifications that the students can earn by completing the course and then by signing up, taking and passing the appropriate certification examinations. We believe that having these certifications linked to our courses will help to make our students more prepared and marketable. So far, the following certifications are in place: 

  • KNES 300 – First Aid and Prevention – American Red Cross First Aid Certification and CPR Certifications for Infant, Child, & Adult the AED Certification will be added soon.

  • KNES 361 – Coaching of Team Sports – PREPARE for the Unexpected for Coaches (Injury Prevention Strategies) from The National Center for Sports Safety and the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (Students who pass the Certification Test receive a certificate that will be needed when they are hired as a coaches)
