Kaitlyn BrandKaitlynLevel 3 SportI like that the programme involves coursework and practical
work, like coaching in schools. I have progressed from
Level 2 to Level 3, and this wouldn't have been possible
without the help of my tutors.
Liam BearderLiamLevel 3 SportI really enjoy coaching as apart of my course - especially
with school children. There are lots of ways to make
the most of your learning, we have spring lane which
is great for outdoor sports.
AnitaLevel 3 SportI chose to study here as it allows me to focus on one subject.
Theres a good mix of practical and theory, and it is mainly
coursework based. The careers office and tutors were
helpful when making the decision to go to university.

LucyLevel 3 SportI chose Colchester Institute because I prefer learning
in a practical way and wanted to learn about how the
body works. I like being able to complete coursework
without having to worry about exams.
