Learners will be given the opportunity to undertake optional study units and additional professional qualifications as well as industry-related work experience to boost employability.

Coaching awards and a Sports Leadership Certificate will be delivered alongside your study programme. In addition to this, those who aspire to be personal trainers will have the opportunity to complete a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification, enabling you to work in a leisure/gym environment.
