What the college says
Health, Fitness & Sport is very popular among young people and this is an excellent opportunity to study these areas. Students who have already studied PE at Key Stage 4 will find many of the ideas and concepts are expanded upon in the course. However, the study of the above courses is not an essential requirement, students without this background will be able to develop their skills without prior knowledge. This vocational course gives a great insight into the sporting ‘working’ world and its associated elements.
