Apply for this course
This qualification aims to help support your personal development through acquiring skills and knowledge in sport, exercise and fitness. The qualification also allows you to gain personal transferable skills that can be applied to the workplace or further study.
This course has been designed to give you a thorough overview of the key knowledge and skills for a career in sport. This includes working with members of the group and developing a wider aspect of the sports industry and how to conduct yourself as a professional. Participating in practical sport and fitness are key elements of the course, along with the theory behind the practical elements and this is continually reinforced throughout the course.

The course is made up of 11 units that range from understanding and developing knowledge of the body to completing physical fitness tests and fitness training programmes.

On the course you will be tasked with developing your coaching abilities by planning and delivering lessons, as well as working with individuals to complete a 6 week training programme and a training diary to reflect your progress. Elements of the course will focus on sports development and how sport is changing around us with barriers to sport and initiatives to develop and promote sports.

This course not only prepares you for the sporting industry, but gives you first-hand experiences of a range of sports and a bespoke program of inspirational trips and visits.
