THE EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Students study towards a two year Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Development and Coaching qualification that is attached to one of our industry career focused pathways in either  coaching & teaching or sports science . Both the qualification and course pathways are 100% practical and cover a wide variety of topics across a wide range of sporting careers.

 

 

The course allows students to focus on developing industry relevant skills, knowledge and experiences to support their progression onto university, U.S Scholarships, Apprenticeships or our Level 4 HNC qualification.

 

For those that don’t meet the level 3 entry criteria, we also offer a one year Level 2 Diploma in Physical Preparation & Employability  which upon passing provides students the opportunity to progress onto our Level 3 Extended Diploma or future careers within areas such as the public sector.

 

 

Being based within a live sports facility and links to local schools and clubs provides students with great opportunities to gain invaluable industry experiences across a range of disciplines including coaching, analysis, physio, media  and more.

 

 

Professional development hours are also built into students timetables which enables them to gain both transferable employability/ life skills and industry relevant experiences that supports them within their future career journeys.
