COURSE OVERVIEW
This Get Started in Sport courses is practical and fun and your stepping-stone to success. This is a re-engagement course—for some students this means a fresh start, for others a chance to get back into an educational mindset.
You will have the time and opportunity to focus on key social and life skills, while linking them to sport. Based around our on-campus sports facilities, this course prepares you for progression on to other sport courses at the MET.
Working in small classes, with the support of experienced tutors and teaching assistants, you will build your self-confidence and self-esteem. The Level 1 course will also boost your social skills and ability to get on with a variety of different people. Our friendly tutors will help you to develop your employability and offer guidance on your future training and career options.
You will benefit from:
- Practical sessions
- Participation in a wide range of sports and physical activities
- On-site sports facilities
- Additional qualifications as part of the course
- Focus on employability and personal development
Your study programme will also include some supported English and maths sessions and provide a first step towards gaining qualifications.
You can also bolt on additional training and competition with our Football or Boxing Academy. This will be discussed at interview.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Start at Level 1 if you have at least 2 GCSEs at grade 2 (F) or above, preferably including English and Maths. An interview with a course tutor will be required. This course is suitable for students who, for many reasons, have not gained GCSEs. Perhaps you need to boost your confidence after a challenging time at school or maybe you just need some supported learning to help you on track to achieve your goals.
After Level 1 you can progress to our Level 2 course in Sport.
As one of the fastest growing sectors of employment in the UK, the sports industry offers a wide range of career opportunities to suit all individuals. The NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Sport opens the door to many career pathways.
Future careers include:
- Coach
- Sports official
- PE teacher
- Fitness instructor
- Personal trainer
- Pool/beach lifeguard
- Sports development officer
- Sports and leisure manager
You will be assessed throughout your course via practical activity observations, academic coursework and industry placements. Assessments are based around ‘real-life’ projects and industry or workplace scenarios including work experience. Your final grade will be awarded as pass upon completion of the course.
