The course is designed for anyone who aspires to become a teacher or leader within the industry. You’ll get hands on experience right from the start as we host several school sports competitions, including the regional finals for the sports hall athletics. We’ll assist you with getting work experience in local schools and even provide opportunities to achieve nationally recognised qualifications, such as coaching badges and first aid courses, making you more competitive when seeking employment.
