About this course

Level 2 Sport Course in Birmingham. Classes run at South and City College Birmingham Hall Green Campus, full-time during the day. Fees vary depending on your circumstances, so contact the campus for details.

The course covers sport science, coaching principles, fitness training, and health and well-being. You'll study for one year and build the knowledge and practical skills that sports and fitness roles require. Entry requires maths and English skills at Level 1. This might be four GCSEs at Grade 3 or above, a Level 1 BTEC in Sport, or an equivalent Level 1 qualification.

You'll finish with an NCFE Level 2 Diploma in Sport.

This course provides a great stepping stone to our Level 3 sports programmes. Previous students starting at Level 2 Sport have progressed through Level 3 and are succeeding at Level 5 on our Foundation Degree.
