In their remarks, the speakers praised the participants for their outstanding performance and professional dedication throughout the three-month training. They emphasised the importance of the program in bridging academic knowledge with practical application, highlighting its role in sharpening students’ skills and enhancing their employability.
The ceremony included the distribution of participation and experience certificates, as well as specialised course certifications, including first aid. Tokens of appreciation were also exchanged between the school and the club.
Building on the program’s success, both parties announced the launch of the second class, scheduled to begin in August, reaffirming their commitment to fostering a professional training environment that supports students’ career development.

Launched in February 2025, the VY-COACH program enrolled a select group of sport sciences students from UJ, chosen through a competitive nomination and interview process. The program aims to offer hands-on experience in fitness and health under the supervision of certified professional trainers.
