Setanta College is a distance learning college, with a focus on sports courses. It offers internationally accredited qualifications, ranging from Higher Certificate to Master's degree level. The college is primarily web-based but also offers campus-based courses at its Limerick City campus. Other teaching locations include London, UK,[3] Karnataka, India,[4] and Pennsylvania and Florida in the United States.[5]
Setanta College was founded by Liam Hennessy BA, MSc, PhD, FRAMI,[6] a former international pole vault competitor and record holder.[7] Hennessy is an exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach whose work has been published in scientific journals[8][9] and has worked with European soccer club teams in Italy,[10] and Germany,[11][12] the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU),[12] the Irish Olympic Team,[13][14] Tipperary GAA,[13] and as Fitness coach to three time Major winning golfer Pádraig Harrington.[15] Through his own work, Hennessy believed there was a need for better qualified experts in the area of strength and conditioning, and so designed a course that would concentrate on this area of expertise.
In 2019 Setanta College entered a partnership with Irish American University (IAU) that saw the graduate programmes accredited regionally by IAU.[16]
Setanta College has designed and operates or facilitates courses for the Irish National Teachers' Organisation and World Rugby.[17] In addition to these courses, Setanta College has delivered education programmes to coaches at the National Cricket Academy of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)[18] and to other sporting organisations such as Saracens Rugby and Arsenal F.C.[citation needed]
