The syllabus also attempts to provide a theoretical foundation and practical opportunities to reach out to professionals across varied contexts. The Post-Graduate Diploma course and syllabus have been designed to ensure that students are trained in skills of counselling and therapy and also get ample opportunities to practice the same. The internship is therefore emphasised along with the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. The learning lab additionally focuses on training in the administration of psychological assessments that are important in a sports environment. On the whole, the course aims at equipping students to effectively empower sports professionals along with a sound theoretical orientation.
