Full Time Sport I would like a future in Sport
Today the sport industry is big business. Leisure centres and health clubs employ hundreds of thousands of people, some working as athletes, personal trainers and sports coaches. The 2012 Olympic Games promises to help increase participation at all levels and looks set to provide plenty of new opportunities for people looking for a career in this area.
Case study
Ashley Dolan
BTEC National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science
Ashley came to College straight from high school knowing he wanted a career in sport. He found out about the College from a careers adviser at his school.
OESince I came to the College I have found all the staff friendly and easy to talk to. The course has been exactly what I wanted and I'm glad I joined it. When I leave College I intend to go to University to continue with my studies. I hope to become a physical education teacher
