What the college says

This course aims to develop students knowledge and understanding of the principles of Sport and Physical Activity. Students will gain an insight into the sector as they investigate opportunities for delivering sport and physical activity to a wide range of participants, whether it is to mobilise sedentary people to improve their health and wellbeing, or to support regular participants to improve their performance and fitness, all done in a safe and professional environment. In doing so, students will also gain core skills required for employment or further study in the sector such as analysis, organisation and adaptation. They will also develop professional, personal and social skills, as well as theoretical knowledge and understanding to underpin these skills. These support the transferable skills required by universities and employers such as communication, problem solving, time management, research and analytical skills. The Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Sport and Physical Activity focus on the requirements that todays universities and employers demand, and students will practically apply their skills and knowledge in preparation for further study at University or in a sports based workplace.
