I’m looking forward to graduating and taking my experience abroad to continue my career as an instructor for my gap year before UNI” Asha Lang (2nd year student) What the Students Say “The course have beaten my expectations massively. I have learnt so much more than I expected and it’s amazing. The instructors have shown us all the different opportunities we can have through water sports and doing this course.” Maia Hussain What the Students Say “My favourite sport is defiantly wakeboarding, I just absolutely love it. I’m really happy now we have actually started driving the cables, ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be an instructor and everything is coming into place its just absolutely ideal” Jude Black What the Students Say Before this course I was expecting to do a BTEC with a lot of coursework and very little time for practical, but I was startled by how fun this course is. To do watersports for two days a week and get an extended diploma in BTEC Sport it is just amazing. After this course I will be moving to France where I am hoping to get a job as a wakeboard cable driver, as well as using my diploma in a three year university course in sports management. The course has so many opportunities and fun qualifications to get. As a watersports fan I highly recommend the course for anyone who loves water and having fun while getting recognised qualifications.
