It aims to put into practice the theory learned within the classroom through practical application and experiences. Learners are expected to attend time-tabled lectures and are encouraged to utilise the available private study time to get advice from module staff and/or conduct essential reading. Some of the teaching sessions will contain practical based activities, where students will be required to use their analytical and problem-solving skills to enhance their own learning. Learners should complete the required and recommended reading to widen their knowledge and understanding, and their ability to apply material. Practical learning tasks will be used to help support and extend students understanding of the delivered lecture content. Within the coaching programme, practical activities will be predominantly based on the sports facilities, where students are able to transfer their theory into their practical coaching.
Learners will be required to attend core lectures, complete practical tasks and independent study. This provides opportunity for learners to develop essential discipline knowledge and vocational skills to facilitate deep learning and independent problem solving.
