ICCSD (version anglaise)

What is ICSS Diploma?

The International Chiropractic Sport Science Diploma has been created by F.I.C.S. in collaboration with the Sports Science Institute of the University of Paris (Switzerland) and the European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences of the University of Surrey (United Kingdom).

The ICSS Diploma will be in the future the only one recognized for accreditation in International Sports Events and Olympic Games.

CCSP and ICSS Diploma

Chiropractors with the CCSP certification from the ACA Sports Council will be able to get an equivalency towards ICSS Diploma depending on the evaluation of the F.I.C.S. Education Commission.
