Foundation Learning

An introduction to sport and leisure, the Foundation Learning programme is a short, intense course combining physical activities with guidance to the importance of working as a team, leading to a qualification that provides the entry point to a career in the industry.

It acts as an introduction to coaching and provides valuable life skills and the confidence to support learners' personal effectiveness and employability during their search for work, from applying for a job to actual interview skills.

Learners are taught about the safety aspects they need to consider when planning and delivering coaching sessions and why this is an integral part of being a successful coach.

If you are considering a career in sport but are still unsure of which pathway to take, then this is the perfect start, giving a basic understanding of the roles and responsibilities of many different job roles within the industry, from coaching to gym instructing.
