The curriculum of the Sports Coaching and Physical Education course is designed to guide students to develop the skills required to become inspired coaches, to be in a position to analyse athletic performance and sports psychology, as well as to plan comprehensive exercise/coaching programmes that maximise athletic performance.
With a key priority being professional integration, the course includes an entire year of Work Placement within the Metropolitan College’s wide network of collaborating sports organisations, institutions and teams. During the Work Placement, students train intensively in core and optional sports.
