The number of sport related jobs in the UK is estimated at over 400,000.

Learners develop knowledge, understanding and skills required by the sector, including essential employability skills, and apply them in real work contexts.

Its main purpose is to allow learners to develop the core specialist knowledge, understanding and skills, including anatomy and physiology and risk assessment, required by the sector. This means it is a highly respected route for those who wish to move into employment in the sector, either directly or following further study. A significant proportion of recruitment in this sector is at graduate level. This course provides a well established route into a variety of specialist Higher Education courses in this sector, when taken alongside other qualifications appropriate for the desired course of study.
