Where our graduates work
“I completed EPI’s NCSC Course before commencing my role with Manchester Utd. The course was an excellent mix of theory and practical sessions delivered in a very clear manner for coaches. I would highly recommend this course for any coach looking to further their understanding of athletic development for sports performance”
Michael Clegg
EPI graduate · Manchester United
“As a sprinter, I’ve found the S&C course with EPI incredibly valuable. It’s given me a much deeper understanding of what goes into developing performance, from strength and power to programming, injury prevention and athlete development.
What I’ve enjoyed most is being able to take what I learn and apply it directly to my own training while also building the knowledge and practical skills to work with other athletes.
If you’re serious about sport, coaching or building a career in S&C, I’d highly recommend this course. The knowledge, experience and opportunities it can create make it well worth the investment.”
