Overview

This course offers exciting content that focuses on key areas within sport, outdoor adventure, and public services. You will have opportunities to participate in various activities like climbing, mountain biking, and water based activities. Alongside these, you will also participate in several team and individual sports like football, basketball, netball, badminton, and tennis. Your leadership skills will also be developed through the challenge of preparing and leading outdoor activities and an expedition.

You will also work on your physical fitness. This will support your understanding of the fitness requirements for entry to the public services, and more broadly in terms of general health and wellbeing benefits. The range of skills gained and developed on the course will then allow you to progress to any of our Level 3 courses. From there, you will have the opportunity to explore employment, university degrees, and Apprenticeships.

There will be a focus on you gaining real-life experience by undertaking work placements to understand more about the opportunities this and further study could lead to.

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.

Edward Smith, BTEC student

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.

David Stenning, Public Services student

My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.
