This Higher Certificate will give you the knowledge and skills necessary for employment in the sport and recreation industries. You will have the opportunity to take further qualifications in sports coaching, fitness instruction and water safety. You will meet leaders from the industry who we invite in to talk to you. In second year, you will take a period of industrial placement. This gives you an opportunity to get experience in the area of the sports and recreation industry that most excites you. Past students have worked with NGB’s, LSP’s, local schools, sports retailing and sports event management companies, just to mention a few.
Students in the Department of Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure are eligible to take part in annual international fieldtrips. In previous years we have visited Italy, Spain, France, China and Dubai.
