Why sport and leisure?
It's a route into work built around something people genuinely enjoy, and the coaching and instructing qualifications you gain are recognised across the industry.
Common questions
Do I need to be a top athlete?
No. Coaching and instructing are about explaining, motivating and keeping people safe, not personal performance.
What qualifications will I get?
Typically recognised coaching or instructing qualifications alongside the apprenticeship standard.
