OUR STUDENTS SAY"Since enrolling on the BTEC National Diploma in
Sport, I have gained a good insight into the sports
industry and taken part in voluntary schemes such
as ‘Step into Sport’ which will look great on my CV
and help me get into university. I have also
completed additional smaller coaching courses
to help me get into coaching. The tutors are very
supportive and keep the morale of students high,
striving to improve the course and take us on trips
and residentials. I have made some good friends
that share a common interest and my confidence
has really improved. Overall the course is ideal for
anybody interested in a future in sport whether it
be a job or going on to university".
