Canadian Strength & Exercise Science (CSES) is a Canadian-founded academic institute setting the global benchmark for coaching competence.
CSES delivers education in strength and conditioning, exercise science, and sports medicine principles grounded in globally recognized standards. Our qualifications are accredited by PD:Approval, recognized by REPs UAE, and internationally portable through iCREPs.
The program exists because of Amir Hamada, Founder and Education Director. Known as The Canadian Strength Coach, Amir has developed gold medal-winning athletes and educated coaches across Canada, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia, and delivered coach education inside national powerlifting federations.
He founded CSES to put that education in the hands of coaches who could never get into those rooms, and the scholarship program is how that happens.

“What sets Amir apart isn’t just how much he’s learned—it’s how effectively he applies it. Having taken many courses, he brings a rare combination of intelligence, meticulous attention to detail, and true care for his clients. He understands that when a trainer takes full ownership of their craft, the client is the one who wins”
“CSES promised me that by the end of the course I’ll be able to offset the cost with one customer. And voila. My income increased massively after taking my CSES certification. I saved time and money at the right place. Always go to a reliable place.”
“I have personally formed a relationship with Amir and his team at CSES, and I can confidently say that they are the best in class. From Canada to the UAE, CSES stands out as a trusted education provider, bridging the gap between
science and practical application in the fitness world. If you are a coach looking to take your programming to the next level, you need to take advantage of
everything CSES has to offer!”
