She slotted in seamlessly with the team and would be valuable addition to any organisation”Logan Gray, National Sport Development Manager, British Blind Sport

Sport Structures deliver this to their usual high standard and offer excellent support and guidance to us as the employer and the apprentice. Sport Structures have added further value to the standard by including the level 2 certificate in supporting learning in physical education and school sport which is brilliant for us. We are super pleased to be working with Sport Structures and we hope to continue working with them for the foreseeable future!”Jamie Segrave - JS Sports & Education
“The L5 leadership and management course has really encouraged me to reflect on and evaluate my experiences of management, learn and understand new methods and apply what I’ve learnt into my current practices. I have been encouraged to work at my own pace and the support and knowledge from the tutor has been excellent and really challenged my thought processes. Not only this but doing my job and evidencing new/existing processes has counted towards my portfolio which has made some criteria easy to achieve! I definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to take on, or improve within, a management role.”Level 5 Operations/Department Manager standard learner

"The Sports Structures in conjunction with NSPCC online Time to Listen online workshop provides an opportunity for different sports to meet virtually and share experiences using some great thought provoking material. The pre and post-course material provides pointers for different sports and can be used as an aide memoire.
