The Higher National Diploma in Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity), Football Club Coaching pathway, will allow students to achieve a qualification at an equivalent level to the first two years of a degree whilst undertaking a long term placement within a coaching setting. The programme offers the opportunity to help build the experience and work related practice students require to begin a journey into an exciting career as a coach or teacher. You will be taught by an experienced teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course. The team includes lecturers and professional practitioners with industry experience with some qualified up to masters degree level. If you are looking at studying Sport at university level for the first time, you would need to look at studying another qualification first, as this qualification is designed for those who already hold a Level 4 qualification - typically, although not exclusively, a HNC Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity). At Yeovil College University Centre, we offer the chance to study the full HND Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity) course, starting at Level 4. For students who would prefer to study their qualification in two 'chunks', we offer the HNC Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity), Football Club Coaching pathway course, which can be completed first, before topping-up using the HND Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity) top up programme. **Work Experience and Placement** Previous students have completed work experience with local primary and secondary schools, sports development organisation, Somerset FA and professional football clubs. Work experience is a essential component of the course and students are advised to consider obtaining work placements prior to commencement of study. **After the course** On successful completion of the course you will gain a Pearson Higher National Diploma in Sport (Community Sport & Physical Activity). Graduates have gone to university to complete their top-up degree, completed master's degrees, PGCE's, as well as securing jobs in coaching and teaching.

Lessons will consist of a mix of theory and practical. Where possible putting practical demonstration and application to theory content. Students are required to study and complete assessment tasks with independence outside of lectures and take ownership of their learning and development whilst under the guidance of tutors. A typical week has between 6-10 hours of contact time, over a day and a half per week plus additional 1-1 support available by student request. The course has been designed to allow you to gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a sporting career within the local area. You will study a range of units that will develop your specialist knowledge and skills. Listed below are examples of modules that are likely to be studied. Please be aware that modules studied may change periodically in line with student and stakeholder feedback, awarding body changes, or to reflect developments in the discipline.
