Sports (Coaching)

This course is for young people aged 16-18.

If you are passionate about staying fit and healthy and you can see yourself in a career where you help others develop their health and skills, this is the course for you.

You will develop an excellent understanding of how to build and maintain health and fitness through exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

You will also understand different coaching styles, tactical awareness and injury sustained during sporting activity, through both a practical and theoretical way.

4 x GCSEs at Level 3 or above including Maths and/or English or equivalent or a Level 1 qualification in a relevant subject.

We will invite you to a course information meeting event where you will receive information, advice and guidance about the course you have applied for. This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

We are firmly committed to finding the right course for you to ensure that you can flourish. Talk to us today if you have any concerns about the application process, we are here to help take you to the next level.

You will complete written assignments, presentations and practical observations to build your portfolio evidence.

You could progress on to one of our higher-level courses and extend your skills and career prospects in the field of sports and fitness.

Alternatively, moving into a career in sport and fitness is also possible straight from Level 2 Sport and all tutors can help with this if required.

You will need to buy a uniform/gym wear, gym membership and contribute to the costs of educational trips. This will be approximately £280 for the year.

If you are on a limited income, you may be eligible to receive help with these costs from our Learner Support Funding Bursary.
