Quality

Australian Catholic University's (ACU National) School of Exercise Science is committed to providing Quality experiences for those enrolled in its learning programs. In order to demonstrate that commitment the School has sought and gained certification under the ISO 9001 process. This requires that the School document all relevant procedures involved in the delivery of its programs and demonstrates to the satisfaction of internationally accredited auditors that it is following these.

More than this, the taking out of the accreditation demonstrates that the School is committed to seeking continuous improvement in serving its customers. In association with the School of Nursing in Victoria the School of Exercise Science is the first academic school to seek and obtain such accreditation in ACU National. To the best of our knowledge we are the only School of Exercise Science in Australia that can offer this guarantee of quality service to our students. We care about the support we provide to our student body as individuals and as a group and our quality accreditation is an important guarantee of our sincerity and commitment.

Currently the School is embarked on a project to expand the range of its services covered by this accreditation. This project is supported by the Vice-chancellor's office through its special initiatives program. We are currently writing all our laboratory procedures and protocols into our Quality Management system as part of a drive to ensure that learning experiences in the Exercise Science laboratories can be seen to be comparable with national and international best practice. This same process is also designed to ensure that those in the community who use our expertise in areas such as performance management, fitness assessment and movement analysis can also feel confident that the services they are receiving reflect best practice within the industry.

When we welcome you to the School of Exercise Science as a member of the student body, as a customer using our consultancy expertise or simply as a visitor - it is our sincerest hope that the quality of the experiences you have will exceed your expectations.
