Description

Our Foundation Degree in Community Sports Coaching is a vocational programme that equips students with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to work as sports coaches. The programme is taught by coaches for coaches and is delivered in conjunction with Chichester College. There is an opportunity to progress onto an Honours Degree after successful completion of the Foundation Degree. Coaching placements in the local community are an integral aspect of the programme. These placements are delivered in conjunction with Chichester District Council and the West Sussex West School Sports partnership and support the local Physical Education and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP). Applicants will need to possess at least one Level 1 National Governing Body Coaching award, or significant coaching experience, and demonstrate a strong commitment to sports coaching.
