Your training

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.  

Where it leads

You may choose to stay within a community setting and work your way up to becoming a more senior coach, or work in the leisure industry, with career options in leisure management or sports development.

Alternatively, if you prefer working with younger people, you could become a teaching assistant who specialises in PE. You could go on to study the following qualifications: 
 
Specialised Coaching Qualifications: You can pursue specific coaching qualifications within your chosen sport to become a high-level coach. 
 
Level 3 Teaching Assistant with a PE and Wellbeing Focus: If you're interested in working within a school setting, this can be a natural progression. 
 
Level 4 Sports Coach Apprenticeship: This would allow you to develop more advanced coaching skills and potentially specialise in a particular sport or type of coaching (e.g., high-performance, community, or school pathways).
