Alongside your studies, you’ll have the opportunity to enhance your CV with additional qualifications such as the LTA teacher training award, Level 1 certificate in coaching rounders and FA secondary school teachers award. You’ll develop your teaching skills in a range of learning environments such as the swimming pool and outdoor classroom.
