For those interested in coaching, our partnership with Kent Cricket offers students the opportunity to gain a Level 3 coaching qualification while learning from professional players and trainers.
Kent Cricket Coaching Academy
What is Kent Cricket Coaching Academy?
Our Level 3 Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development course is run in partnership with Kent Cricket.
This offers students the opportunity to join the Kent Cricket Coaching Academy and train in a professional sporting environment, often attending The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence.
Why study with us?
This course builds an understanding of the professional sports industry and supports students to develop the confidence, teamwork and employability skills needed to progress in the sport industry or to continue with further study.
As part of the course, students plan and deliver coaching sessions, support individual and team performance, and develop confidence in leadership and communication.
Developing coaching skills alongside professionals
You’ll gain hands-on experience, access to high-quality facilities and expert coaching, while developing an insight into how a professional sports club operates.
The course will build the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to progress into coaching and sports development careers or higher education in sport.
“I want to go into coaching so this course has given me experience and key skills now that I will need to start my career.
“We regularly visit Kent Cricket to learn different coaching techniques that can apply to not just cricket but a range of sports.”
