Course Overview

Do you see yourself becoming the next Pep Guardiola, Tracey Neville, Sarina Wiegmann, Sir Dave Brailsford or Andy Farell? Do you want to develop the next generation of athletes and sports performers? Do you want to help coach a variety of age groups to enable people to play sport, socialise and live healthy lifestyles? If so, then this programme is for you!

Alternatively, if your goals are to work in gyms and health club settings, be self-employed with private clients, or aspire to be the next big fitness influencer like Joe Wicks, this qualification will also get you closer to your goals.

The NCFE Level 2 Diploma in Sport is a one-year course that is equivalent to 4 GCSEs and is aimed at learners who wish to progress into a career in sports coaching or fitness industry at the conclusion of their studies or continue their studies at level 3.

Each unit is split into several assignments which aim to assess your understanding of a variety of criteria, and are graded as pass, merit, or distinction. After completing each unit, each grade is added to a total which will give you your final grade profile.

The mandatory content allows learners to develop their technical skills, supported by underpinning knowledge such as anatomy and physiology and gives learners the opportunity to relate the skills and knowledge to the sports coaching and fitness industry. This prepares learners to work independently as coaches and gives them the skills and expertise to coach at all levels of sports ability for both children and adults.
