This course is designed for ages 16-19.

This course is designed to develop their skills for progression to further learning and, ultimately, to employment in the Football or Sports Industry.

This qualification is nested. Qualifications within a nested suite allow learners to be topped up to a qualification that is the same level and subject within the Certificate and Diploma structure.

It is aimed at young people who wish to study the sports and leisure industry in a professional vocational sports setting based at Leyton Orient Football Club and the Score sports complex. Learners will need to have a passion for sport and an interest in exploring the different areas of this area including health, fitness, performance, coaching, sports science and events. 

There will also be opportunities for work experience and volunteer placements, gain additional coaching qualifications and also to play football or other sports for our Leyton Orient College Teams in regional and London based leagues.  Football students will receive six hours coaching from Leyton Orient FC Academy and Community coaches as part of their enrichment programme.
