Don’t worry many of the students joining us haven’t done these activities before. We take learning from the beginning and progress people as they develop. WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCE? Some of our students have experience in one activity or another, we can easily differentiate on the water and if students are ready to take qualifications sooner, we can organise with them to take qualifications sooner. What the Students Say “I have really enjoyed this course because I have been able to try new and exciting sports and develop new hobbies alongside my sixth form studies. 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) “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 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 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. Seb Beale “This BTEC course has been so valuable to me because it has improved my social skills, built my confidence and I have made some awesome friends. I am really excited to expand my watersports career into the yachting industry.” Otis Salter DOWNLOAD BROCHURE Sign up for open evening SIGN UP FOR COURSE Open Days For 2024 in take Thursday Febuary 8th – 6-8pm Thursday March 7th – 6-8pm Thursday April 18th – 6-8pm Open to Ages 16 – 18 Interested in BTEC open days – Limited places pre booking essential Sign up now to secure your spot
