Sport, Fitness and Personal Training Diploma Level 3

The Diplo­ma in Sport, Fit­ness and Per­son­al Train­ing offers a mix of learn­ing activ­i­ties – includ­ing prac­ti­cal gym work not only in the gym at Bor­derville Sports Cen­tre but also at our part­ner gym, Rhi­nos. There are a num­ber of class­room-based lessons cov­er­ing the­o­ry such as Anato­my and Phys­i­ol­o­gy along­side a full pro­gramme of trips and vis­its into indus­try. A work expe­ri­ence week allows for learn­ers to find a place­ment in their local com­mu­ni­ty and devel­op their knowl­edge of the indus­try further.

4 GCSEs grade 4 and above includ­ing Eng­lish GCSE.<?xml:namespace pre­fix = ​“o” ns = ​“urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />

Eng­lish is essen­tial for the writ­ten part of the course. There are a num­ber of reports such as client feed­back forms which need to be writ­ten and there­fore Eng­lish is essen­tial. Those who do not achieve Eng­lish can start on the L2 Sport pro­gramme, and progress to L3 the fol­low­ing year.

We will review each appli­ca­tion on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get a place on the course most suit­able for you.

One of the ways we do this is through a very effec­tive ​‘6 weeks to suc­cess pro­gramme’ that oper­ates from the first day you start your course. This includes sup­port such as (but not lim­it­ed to):

• Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks ‑sub­ject to availability

• Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard — sub­ject to availability
• If you do not receive a 4 in Maths you will be able to retake this as part of your pro­gramme of study on the Lev­el 3 course.

• One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team are avail­able at enquiries@stamford..ac.uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

The BTEC Lev­el 3 Diplo­ma in Sport, Fit­ness and Per­son­al Train­ing has a pri­ma­ry focus on pro­gres­sion to employ­ment as a Per­son­al Train­er. This allows learn­ers to work inde­pen­dent­ly as a per­son­al train­er and gives them the skills and exper­tise need­ed to work with clients at dif­fer­ent lev­els of fit­ness and across a wide age range. It is also suit­able for those who want a career in the leisure and ser­vice indus­try, such as in a leisure cen­tre. The qual­i­fi­ca­tion attracts UCAS points and is recog­nised by high­er-edu­ca­tion providers as meet­ing entry require­ments to many degree lev­el programmes.
