Tactical Strength and Conditioning Program Description
The proposed Tactical Strength and Conditioning certificate program is designed to prepare students to further their careers in the military, fire and rescue, law enforcement, protective services, and other emergency personnel as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator. Having individuals trained to be specialists will better support these populations to reduce injury, prevent and treat lifestyle related diseases, increase job performance, and reduce health care costs for local, state, and federal agencies. This new program supports the mission of Frederick Community College through preparation of students to become credentialed with nationally recognized organizations and successfully enter the workforce based on needs of local, regional, and global communities.
