16-19 Full-Time Football and Education Programme

 


The Programme

 

Racing Club Warwick Academy is focused on giving our scholars a quality experience AND with a BTEC education! This will gain you more UCAS points and therefore more options than providers offering an NCFE

 

Which courses can you study?

Our Education programme has two routes: NVQ and BTEC provided by HOET 

  • NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Sports Studies

  • NVQ Level 3 Active IQ Diploma in Coaching Sports

  • BTEC Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Sports Coaching & Development

  • BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching & Development

Both routes prepare you for a career in Sport or Coaching. Some former learners now play for professional football clubs in the UK or coach in the USA. Other popular routes after completion of these courses include apprenticeships, higher education, teaching, training and semi-professional contracts.
