Sports Coaching and Exercise Foundation Degree (FdSc)

An award of Teesside University delivered in partnership with Redcar & Cleveland College.

This qualification has been developed in partnership with sports based organisations across the Tees Valley, together with Teesside University.

This part-time course is for those people already in employment (or who aim to be) in a variety of work roles in leisure and sports centres, schools, and private and public sector organisations as well as those involved in voluntary and community organisations. Skills that sports professionals have at Level 3 will be raised to Level 4 and Level 5 by this programme.

The emphasis is to develop higher level skills, knowledge and understanding and apply them to the work environment, through the completion of work-based assignments. You will also undertake laboratory practices, complete module reports and produce example lesson/session plans and evaluations.

The course will integrate national governing body qualifications to improve the skills and coaching awards already held. Therefore the individual can enhance their continual professional development portfolio within the sports industry. For example, course members could obtain an FA Level 2 in football coaching, progressing from Level 1.

Foundation degrees are a new approach to learning that integrates theoretical, practical and organisational skills that today’s clubs, organisations, and employers require. This course offers all these professional attributes.
