Sport and Active Leisure The New Diploma
Exam board: EDEXCEL NCS course code: NDSPOAP
Aim

The diploma aims to equip you with the skills, knowledge and attributes necessary to help the sport and active leisure industry professionalise and so deliver on its two headline ambitions set with the government: to leave a lasting legacy of grass-roots participation opportunities following the staging of successful major events and to see 50 per cent of the nation active and healthy by 2020.
The sport and active leisure industry is new, high profile and rapidly becoming more professional. By encouraging individuals to lead active and healthy lifestyles, its workforce has a hugely significant role to play in helping address current social challenges and the need to offer every child an opportunity to experience the outdoors during their education.
