This is an engaging two year course that offers students a taster of the requirements that are necessary to become involved in many of the many branches of the health and fitness or sport industries. It leads directly into the BTEC National Sport and Exercise Science qualification at ‘A’ level.

Fitness Testing and Training: here students are given the opportunity to explore the essential fitness requirements and training methods used to achieve successful sports performance. Development of Personal Fitness will teach students how to plan, implement and evaluate a personal fitness training programme specific to their sporting goals.
