It is strongly recommended that learners who are registering onto this course have access to a mentor in their own environment to support their development. This can be an experienced tutor/assessor or a peer who is going through the same qualification.
If you have any support requirements to enable you to attend and successfully complete the course, please advise us when you book your place on the course. We will then contact you ahead of the course start date to discuss how we can best support you.
Learners must have access to a laptop or tablet. A smartphone device is accepted but functionality can be limited. The device must have access to a microphone as the sessions will be interactive. Please also ensure you have good WIFI access.
Learners are required to produce a portfolio of evidence away from the course which includes:

- A personal development plan and reflective practice
Learners have three years from the start date of their course to be certificated. We recommend that learners aim to finish six months prior to their course end date to ensure plenty of time for their portfolio to be marked and any amendments to be made so that their certificate can be claimed.
In exceptional circumstances, an extension may be available. Please contact education@sportstructures.com as soon as possible if you would like to discuss this further.
Successful learners may progress to further education and training qualifications.
