Course summary

The CTEC Sport and Physical Activity qualifications are for anyone who wants to study sport, leisure, or fitness. This qualification is not just about being able to play sports, it will provide students with the skills, knowledge, and understanding to progress into Higher Education on a sport-related program such as Sports and Physical Education, Sport Science, Sports Coaching and Development, or Sport and Leisure Management. We offer different sizes of qualifications so that students can build a program to suit themselves and their next steps. To support academic studies, our sports enrichment program allows students a chance to train and compete for the college every week, with opportunities to compete at a national level. This allows students to place into practice the theoretical principles learned in the classroom. Additionally, PE and Sport students are provided opportunities to complete work experience both locally and internationally as part of the Turing Scheme. WHO IS THIS AIMED AT?
