IUSCA IQF Classification
Level 2 reflects supervised instruction and practical support for academy and camp strength, speed, agility and movement sessions. The intern observes programme design, assists with monitoring and testing, and shadows multidisciplinary work without autonomous athlete-outcome accountability. The employer seeks current or recent bachelor's-level study, and lists CPR/AED and CSCS, CSCC or another recognised S&C certification, or active pursuit, as preferred rather than mandatory. These education preferences do not alter the supervised Level 2 classification.
Associated IUSCA IQF Certification
IUSCA IQF Level 2 Certified Strength and Conditioning Instructor (IQF.L2.SCI)
