Sports Psychology Certificate

Sports Psychology

Engaging in sports is a fun way for many people to get fit and can also be an opportunity to spend time with family, peers and/or friends. Professional sports can also be used as a form of income.

Physical activity affects people both emotionally and mentally. This is something that sports psychology strives to assess and provide answers for.

Sports psychology focuses on how individuals engaging in sports are influenced, including how to enhance an individual’s mindset for increased performance. Sportspeople must be healthy both physically and mentally, to succeed. 

Certain psychological issues can prevent a player from taking part in sports to their full potential. Therefore, they need help to address such psychological issues. Athletes can improve their performances by reducing anxiety and stress levels, before taking part in a sporting event.

    Certificate Example

    Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

    The course is broken down into 4 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

    You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

    Once you have completed all 4 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 4 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

    The pass mark for the test is 70%.

    If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

    You can either use your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Solo cards or PayPal account to pay for the online course. Our site uses the latest SSL encryption to ensure your safety. All payments are handled securely by PayPal.

    You can begin the course immediately after your payment has been received. You will create your login details during the checkout process. We will also send you an email confirming your login details.

    We estimate that the course will take about 3 hours to complete in total, plus an additional 30 minutes for the end of course test.

    Once you have been awarded your certificate it is valid for life. The certificate does not expire or need renewing.

    This course was a good introduction to payroll and the content was easy to read and well set out. I would recommend this course to anyone that would like to start out in payroll.

    Great course. Easily readable online, no jargon and had up to date information and illustrations as well as the sources that were used within the modules. Most modules had an assessment at the end where you could check your own knowledge - this was a great add on to ensure you are up to speed. The exam was easily laid out great with no tricky to read questions. The completion certificate was easily accessible on completion and you are given your grade immediately after the exam - it even gives you the option to see your incorrect answers so you can review them in your own leisure. All of the modules are printable so you can ready back as often as you like. Not only this, but throughout the whole course, you have the ability to email representatives of the course who will answer any questions you may have and they are very prompt with their responses. I was overall very happy with this course and will definitely keep New Skills Academy in mind when taking future course. Thank you!

    For me, as a current employee in Human Resources, this HR Management Course was an excellent opportunity to get more insight of the industry and my job role. The course provided with a lot of relevant information that I could relate to in my job role as well as find ideas that I would be able to adapt in my workplace. I am keen on sharing my knowledge and implementing these new ideas in order to help our company achieve success. Would highly recommend this HRM course to people desiring to join Human Resources as well as the ones already working in the industry as everyone will be able to obtain something that will help them develop as a worker, a person and a future HR Manager!

    Sandra Zinkeviciute

    Absolutely loved this course. The information provided is so easy to understand yet so vital to becoming a successful events planner/manager.

    I enjoyed this course so much I completed it within 3 days and before finishing wanted to hop on Facebook and open a business. I didn’t by the way… I cannot wait to start putting my knowledge to good use, if you are planning a career in event management then the event management diploma is the way to go!

    Not only have I learnt about planning, I now know the basics on starting a business and the dreaded health and safety regulations. So thankful I did this course, well worth it!

    Michelle Britnor

    It is quite an interesting course! I have learnt a lot since I have seen the precise explanation and video illustration, and I have enough time to learn so well as I did it in my own pace. I've fully understood the whole concept on each module. By the time I've finished the last module, I'm quite prepared for the exam because everything I've learnt has already been absorbed into my mind. Even once I've finished the course, I'm looking forward to learn more by reviewing the course again. Now, I can properly apply the techniques into our massage spa business.

    Ma Margarita

    Great support from tutors and IT staff! Emails are always answered quickly, even on late nights and early mornings. Good clear lay out across the website, very easy to navigate and keep track of modules completed.

    Would highly recommend to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in their own time and develop in the area. I completed this course on my commute to and from work. I also received a student card with this course that was great to benefit discounts from.

    I am already thinking about what other courses I can start with New Skills Academy as soon as possible!
