Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship

Apprenticeship

The Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship standard combines employment and continued study for learners looking to achieve a career in sport or community coaching.

An apprenticeship is the perfect way for individuals to earn an income while continuing to develop personally, professionally and academically, while providing employers with valuable skilled staff to enhance or fill skills gaps within their business.

A career as a Community Activator Coach is perfect for those passionate about being a positive role model within their community through the engagement of sport and physical activity. You will be responsible for planning, delivering and coaching fun, inclusive and engaging activities to help encourage physically active lifestyles.

The Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship is also a popular pathway for our further education students looking to enter into sport or community coaching upon completion of their Level 2 or Level 3 Extended Diploma Studies with us at Access Sport.
