Course Overview

Trainees study the scientific principles of Physical Education and sport and explore these through practical activities. Developing a wide range of subject knowledge, this intensive course blends theory and practice helping trainees to understand how children learn best. When trainees are secure in their specialist subject, they may choose to develop a second subject, making them more versatile and employable.

Trainees enjoy ample contact with qualified teachers and students through school-based placements in our partnership schools and stations in other educational settings. This enables them to gain a wide range of experience and a healthy understanding of the profession in the current climate.
