About this course

Free Level 2 Sports Coaching Course in Sevenoaks. Classes run at Wrotham School, full-time during the day.

The course runs over one year. You'll study three core units: participating in sport, sports coaching, and developing sporting skills and tactical awareness. You'll build practical knowledge of how to plan and deliver coaching sessions. Entry requires a minimum of four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including English and maths.

You'll finish with an NCFE Certificate in the Principles and Preparations for Coaching Sport.

Who this course is for

This vocational course is specifically designed for students aged 16+. It lasts one year and is taken as part of our level 2 pathway for students who have not yet qualified for Level 3 study.

Entry requirements
