Who this course is for

If you're passionate about sport and boxing and want to turn that passion into a career, this course is your perfect starting point.

Delivered by our college in partnership with Tamworth Boxing Club, this programme combines the nationally recognised NCFE Level 2 Diploma in Sport with the elite DiSE (Diploma in Sporting Excellence) boxing pathway. It�s a unique opportunity to develop both academically and athletically.

You�ll study key topics like anatomy and physiology, sports coaching, fitness training, and psychology for performance�giving you a solid foundation in sport science and the skills employers and universities value. At the same time, you�ll train like a high-performance athlete under the guidance of England Boxing-qualified coaches, developing your boxing technique, tactical awareness, and physical conditioning.

This dual approach means you don�t have to choose between education and sport�you can excel in both. Whether your goal is to compete at a high level, become a coach, or work in the wider sport and fitness industry, this course sets you on the right path.

You�ll also gain essential life skills: teamwork, leadership, communication, and discipline. Plus, with access to real-world experiences like volunteering, work placements, and event planning, you�ll build a CV that stands out.

If you�re aged 16�19, committed to boxing, and ready to push yourself in and out of the ring, this course is for you.
