The BSocSc (Hons) Sports and Recreation Management (SRM) programme at The Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi) is the first degree programme in Hong Kong to meet the criteria of the National Strength and Conditioning Associations (NSCA) Education Recognition Program (ERP).  Under this recognition, SRM students of the Sports Coaching specialisation are suitably prepared to develop the required knowledge and skills to undertake the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification.  This will help students develop professionally and maximise employment opportunities in the area of strength and conditioning and associated disciplines.
