To be eligible to undertake PEP all students must be ‘Verified’ as meeting College of Health and Medicine PEP Safety in practice Compliance as per the Course Entry Requirements.
Students who cannot or do not comply with these requirements will not be allocated PEP and therefore will not be able to complete this unit.

Introduction
Professional Experience in Exercise and Sport Science is a capstone, core unit within the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science program. This unit is designed to link and complement the student's program of study by introducing them to the industry’s work environment. The professional experience placement (PEP) provides students with a minimum of 140 hours experience within the Exercise and Sport Science industry. Students will be required to: demonstrate knowledge of many of the key criteria required for recognition as an accredited exercise scientist; demonstrate an understanding of the requirements for PEP and employment within the exercise and sport science industry; demonstrate competency in discipline specific workplace tasks; and integrate discipline specific knowledge through practice, reflection and project work across multiple placement sites. Career planning is also facilitated broadly within the health industry with specific reference also made to the exercise and sport science discipline.
