    Are these setanta courses the real deal? I would have a keen interest in the modules. But what are the chances of employment.Anybody in the know?
    Your chances of employment are not based on your qualification. To be employed you need to have a suitable qualification and be insurable but other than that it matters very little what qualification you are doing.

    What I like to see in employees is an inquisitive mind and good research skills...if you'd simply put 'setanta' into the 'search' here you would of found 45 threads on pretty much this exact same question you have posed here...i.e What's Setanta College like? Is it a good course? Will it help me get work?

    Just as an aside I don't know about anyone else here but I am much more willing to help when people show that they've have shown even a modicum of interest in trying to find some information themselves before being asked to have it spoonfed to them...but that's just me.

    I did search setanta courses on this site.many of the threads are a few years old and i have read a alot of strength and conditioning but obviously a qualification is needed. I know the course is good as i know pepoel in college doing the course,but i would prefer to do it online as i would like to work.

    1. There's nothing wrong with pumping a thread a few years old a) everybody that posted in that thread who still has a 'notification' set up gets an email or a notification on the site. b) the people who have already posted in the thread are the people most likely able to help you with regards specific information. c) if people would use already existing threads it gives anyone coming to the party late a chance to catch up.
    2. It's more a matter of what you read rather than how much. You could read a lot of really bad strength and conditioning material.
    3. If you know the course and know people doing it I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for?

    I will leave you to it.

    Theres nothing wrong with starting a new thread. Dont know why i have to justify to you starting a new thread. I could read alot of bad material? well I also could have read really good material don't see why you are constantly contradicting everything im saying . Its frustrating Im just leaving a thread to see if any body who completed the course has got employment out of it. I know the content is good as i know people doing it. I dont know of anyone who has completed it however. I dont want to spend alot of money on a course if it does not open doors. Just asking for opinions. Nothin wrong with that

    No there isn't. I was just saying that I think it would have been better if you'd have used one of the 45 existing Setanta College threads to do so.
    Dont know why i have to justify to you starting a new thread.
    You don't have to justify a thing. You don't even need to respond to my comments. This is a forum where you say what you want and I say what I want. That's how it works. What you like a lot of other people here should keep in mind while you are seemingly getting pissy with me is that you would and could get a lot more help from me and others if you'd realise that forums are a realm of communication and once you put something out there it can go a lot of ways...not just the way you WANT it to go.
    I could read alot of bad material?
    Yes, you could have. There is a huge amount of rubbish out there.
    well I also could have read really good material don't see why you are constantly contradicting everything im saying.
    Yes, you could have. There is a huge amount of good work out there. The fact that you are here asking these questions though would lead me to believe that you are at the beginning of your career if you've even started out at all. That you might be better off asking for advice from someone who has perhaps done all of the things that you might want to do in your career already? That you might want to get advice from someone that employees strength and conditioning coaches?
    Its frustrating.
    Well get used to it. Life is frustrating. If you get frustrated by someone that is trying to help you and point you in the right direction and ask you the questions you need to be asked rather that want to be asked. If you get frustrated by someone offering contrary opinions to your own then you might as well forget about you entire prospective career because you obviously have no idea what you are in for.
    Im just leaving a thread to see if any body who completed the course has got employment out of it.
    Good for you. All I was saying was that you might have been better asking it in the thread where it's likely that people who have done or who are doing the course have already posted?
    I know the content is good as i know people doing it.
    So do I. I know a lot more about the content than you could possibly imagine.
    I dont know of anyone who has completed it however.
    I do. I know lots of people who've completed it. I know people that teach it. I know the people that wrote the material. I know the people that own the company.
    I dont want to spend alot of money on a course if it does not open doors. Just asking for opinions. Nothin wrong with that
    No. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but I can guarantee you that you won't get any help from me and I won't post in this thread again or knowingly answer any other question you ever have.

    Good luck with this thread and good luck with your future....I'd say...let me know how you get along....but I couldn't care less now.

    Willie come down of your high horse. Strength and conditioning material I have read has been mainly by Charlie Francis, Russian Periodization, Westside barbell, Joe Defranco and theres loads more. Iv had an interest in this for many years but never really considered a career . Im mainly interested in track and filed Periodisation and how I think its methods can be used in team sports. My Pissy attitude ? but your posts were not very helpful. I started a new thread and you basically attacked me for doing so. Im abrasive i admit that but i didnt appreciate your posts

    To get back to your question haha:

    As far as I know Setanta College can open quite a few doors. They have links with huge sporting organisations including FAI, IRFU, GAA, Saracens (on their site) and as Facebook rumour has it they are now linked with Arsenal.

    The testimonial page says that they have graduates working within top level sport with the head of S&C with GWS Giants in the AFL a graduate.
    Also, I read (Facebook again) that the Connacht player Johnny O'Connor graduated and got a job with Arsenal.

    So if Facebook is to be trusted, they're sound!
