Our Sports Leadership qualifications are our most popular qualifications. Specially designed on an easy to administer framework, the qualifications are designed to use sport and physical activity to help veterans develop and hone their leadership skills whilst helping themselves and others stay physically active.
Veterans undertaking a qualification in Sports Leadership will learn and demonstrate important life skills such as effective communication and organisation whilst learning to lead basic physical activities to younger people, their peers, older generations and within the community.
The courses involve both guided & peer-to-peer learning and supervised leadership to ensure that learners have all the skills they need to lead basic physical activities to other people.
Our partner SportsWorks offer qualifications in Sports Leadership at Level 3 (4, 5 & 6 in Scotland) to ensure that veterans have a structured leadership pathway that helps them develop along the way. The Level 2 Qualification in Community Sports Leadership (CSL2) is recognised in personal statements and our Level 3 Qualification in Sports Leadership (SL3) even carries UCAS points.
Total Qualification Time (TQT) 122 hours Tutored time (GL) 60 hours Demonstration of leadership 14 hours
