About the course
This is a three year programme, that is open to students who have completed their BTEC or A-level qualifications. It will provide you with more knowledge, skills and experience of the sports industry. As stated before, the course is split into three separate years so that you are able to ‘get off the train’ at any point, whilst still gaining a recognised qualification.
You will be taught online for all 3 years, with support still offered on site at Forest Sports Education by our expert tutors. For the final year, you will also complete 3 residential weeks at Bury over the course of the year so that you can enhance your knowledge and skills further.
Lessons take place in the morning which gives you the opportunity to gain potential paid work experience in the afternoon with a number of different partners we have!
