Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development

The course is 100% internally assessed through twelve coursework-based units which aim to provide learners with opportunities to sample a wide range of specialist areas within sport and develop an understanding of the academic and practical skills that will help them to progress into employment in the sports coaching and development sectors.

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, and gives learners the opportunity to relate the skills and knowledge to the sports coaching 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.

Written Assignments
Presentations
