We offer a range of sports BTEC diplomas to give our students a thorough grounding in all areas of sports fitness, physical education, and coaching, as well as sport and exercise science. You’ll be taught by expert lecturers – from high-level sports players and qualified coaches, to staff with successful careers in the UK and international sports industry. If you want to develop in your chosen sport alongside your studies, our BTEC diplomas in Golf, Football, and Rugby could offer the perfect pathway. With strong links to our Sports Academies, which enable athletes to develop in their chosen sport whilst studying, you’ll benefit from high-quality coaching to develop your talent. Some of our students represent us at the highest levels of college sport. When you’re not in the classroom, you’ll be putting theory to the test using our professional sports facilities – turn to pages 83-86 to see what's on offer. Develop your confidence with practical sessions built into your timetable. You could coach in local schools, lead sports activities, or organise sports events – such as the School Games or Big Health Check – to build your portfolio of experience for the future. Our partnerships with local and national organisations provide opportunities to gain experience and make connections ready for your career.
