Land, Water, Snow & Traditional Sports Courses
This section covers courses in Mountain sports (Climbing, MLTB training and cycling)and also traditional sport courses and training programmes (Football, cricket, rugby etc). There are lots of sports courses to choose from right here in the UK, or you might choose to pursue your chosen sport abroad.
You could even get a support job abroad with a company such as PGL who offer you the chance to train whilst you work.
With sports coaching and instructor awards covered on here, the focus is not usually on creating Olympic stars, but to train high quality teachers to deliver expert instruction. All courses will include an aspect of first aid training but you can take specialist courses independently. Sport improvement courses are also available and can be taken part in all over the world.
Watersports Courses are covered in a seperate section, for the latest land based sports courses please read on!
