July / Aug 2024: ISAK level 1 & 2 accreditation & re-accreditation training course

Ahead of this years ISAK conference in London (5th-7th August 2024), Dr Alice Bullas in the Morphology Research Theme of the Sports Engineering Research Group, will be running:

  • ISAK level 1 accreditation training course (31st July –  2nd August 2024)
  • ISAK level 2 accreditation course (30th July –  2nd August 2024)
  • ISAK level 1 and 2 re-accreditation (2nd August 2024) at the AWRC 09:30-17:00.

Both courses will be taught an understanding of the theory of anthropometric applications through asynchronous online content (received 2 weeks ahead of practical sessions) and in person practical sessions over consecutive days.

During the final day you will undergo a practical examination in which your inter and intra anthropometrist error will be assessed. After the course you are required to collect 20 anthropometric profiles, achieving appropriate intra anthropometrist error, to achieve ISAK accreditation.

Once accredited, the ISAK certificate is valid for 4 years, after which point you can undertake re-accreditation at the same level or complete a full course at a higher level.

This course is an official ISAK registered course and is delivered by an ISAK accredited level 3 instructor, and anthropometry specialist in the Morphology Research Theme, Dr Alice Bullas.

The cost of this course includes the training course, ISAK membership registration, digital ISAK manual royalty fee, and lunch and refreshments each day.

Please note,
• Candidates whose previous accreditation has expired for more than two years are ineligible for re-accreditation, unless there is a medically-certified reason for their not having been able to re-accredit within that entire period. In the absence of that, these candidates must redo the complete Level 1 course if they wish to regain their accreditation.
• No candidate can be admitted to a re-accreditation workshop if any unresolved disciplinary or administrative issue exists between them and ISAK. Therefore, it is compulsory for the candidate to contact the ISAK Secretariat to confirm approval for reaccreditation ahead of booking onto this course. This email confirmation should then be forwarded to the course leader – Dr Alice Bullas (a.bullas@shu.ac.uk).
