Industry links

in the local area. This is a great opportunity for you to work
with a range of schools, developing your coaching and
leadership skills as well as sport session development and
delivery.
You will also complete 35 hours of work experience per year

leadership and fitness testing. You have the added benefit of
being able to complete a range of national governing body
coaching and officiating courses, such as the FA Level 1 in
Coaching Football and the RFL Level 1 in Coaching Rugby.
Alumni
Past students have gone onto hugely successful careers
within the sports industry, ranging from coaching and
