The flexible part-time course is suitable for active and aspiring coaches, as well as PE teachers and further education tutors, who are affiliated with any sport around the world. You put the theory into practice in your own day-to-day job.
And as it’s delivered entirely online, you can fit studying round your work commitments and at a time that suits you. We use podcasts, blogs, class discussion boards, presentations, drop-ins and other interactive sessions so you can share your experiences and ideas.
