These body composition and anthropometry qualifications are taught at University of Sunshine Coast (Brisbane) in 2025, and at AUT in 2026. They will be taught at each location in alternative years.
Globally recognised by the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), they focus on teaching you the practical skills and knowledge needed to measure a person's body composition using standardised measurement techniques.
You'll gain a range of practical skills used by sport and fitness professionals to profile a client’s body composition. These are essential skills if you want to work with elite athletes as part of a high-performance team, or if you're looking for reliability in your measures of clients.
For 2025, there will be concurrent Level 1, 2 and 3 accreditation and reaccreditation courses in the week commencing 7 July on the following dates:
The course will be offered at the University of Sunshine Coast Moreton Bay Campus, which is on the outskirts of Brisbane.
