Foundation Diploma

The Foundation Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure is designed to give a very broad generic introduction to the sport and active leisure industry.

The content aims to provide a solid foundation with a basic understanding of the importance of leading an active and healthy lifestyle, the component parts and their related physical and mental benefits. Topics covered will range from the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle to working with groups in the industry.

Progression from the foundation level could either lead to employment such as a recreation assistant or assistant sports coach, apprenticeships in playwork or spectator safety or would also enable the student to continue with further education.
