Based in Oxford and operating nationally, we provide a portfolio of training and services to individuals, schools and the sports industry, ranging from weekly clubs for tots to adult courses and apprenticeships.

We are a registered training provider for sport & education qualifications, working in further education, apprenticeships, and adult education. We are a registered apprenticeship training provider (RoATP) and hold a direct levy contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). We use a blended learning approach with a combination of on-the-job training, face-to-face training, and online e-portfolios.

Our customers include early year settings, primary schools, secondary schools, councils, charities, private sports coaching companies, professional sports clubs, grassroots clubs, gyms, the NHS, and apprenticeship training agencies.

What people say?

Very well structured course with lots of new content I hadn’t covered before in Coaching Qualifications. The Mental Fitness, wellbeing and Nutrition content was really useful for me to improve my overall coaching capability.
