Progression

Many of our students progress onto higher level study in subjects such as sports injuries, coaching and development, leisure and the fitness industry, sports management and media. A growing number of students elect to stay with us to complete their HNC/D in Sport and Exercise Science. Alternatively you may choose to progress directly into the industry through higher level apprenticeships or full-time employment.
