History

Setanta College was founded by Liam Hennessy BA, MSc, PhD, FRAMI,[5] a former international pole vault competitor and record holder.[6] Hennessy is an exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach whose work has been published in scientific journals[7][8] and has worked with European soccer club teams in Italy,[9] and Germany,[10][11] the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU),[11] the Irish Olympic Team,[12][13] Tipperary GAA,[12] and as Fitness coach to three time Major winning golfer Pádraig Harrington.[14] 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.[15]
