About this course

The CTEC Sport and Physical Activity qualifications are for anyone who wants to study sport, leisure or fitness. This qualification is not just about being able to play sport, it will provide students with the skills, knowledge and understanding to progress into Higher Education on a sport-related programme such as Sport and Physical Education, Sport Science, Sport Coaching and Development or Sport and Leisure Management. We offer different size qualifications so that students can build a programme to suit themselves and their next steps. To support academic studies, our sport enrichment programme allows students a chance to train and compete for the college on a weekly basis, with opportunities to compete at a national level. This allows students to place into practice the theoretical principles learnt in the classroom. Additionally, PE and Sport students are provided opportunities to complete work experience both locally and internationally as part of the Turing Scheme.
