This diploma offers a valuable opportunity for aspiring sports coaches, PE teachers, sports development officers, and sports professionals to develop their coaching techniques, leadership abilities, and understanding of athlete development.

Participants will also have the opportunity to apply their learning through practical coaching sessions, work placements, and engagement with sporting organisations.
Participants will attend classroom-based sessions where they will study key topics such as coaching theory, sports psychology, sports nutrition, talent identification processes, and event management principles. They will also have opportunities to engage in practical coaching sessions, where they will learn and apply coaching techniques, observe and analyse athlete performance, and provide feedback and support to athletes.
