The Level 3 Diploma in Sports Coaching and Fitness is a one-year, full-time qualification designed for learners who want to deepen their understanding of applied coaching, sport science and leadership in practical sport environments. It builds on the foundations of Level 2 study and prepares learners for advanced qualifications or employment.
You’ll study advanced topics such as performance analysis, leadership in sport, anatomy and physiology, nutrition and the psychology of coaching. The programme blends theory with applied practical experience, giving you the opportunity to plan, deliver and evaluate real coaching sessions supported by expert tutors.
Assessment is through a combination of coursework, written tasks and practical observations, providing a balanced approach to learning without heavy reliance on exams.
The qualification is equivalent to one-and-a-half A Levels and carries UCAS points for university entry. Many learners progress to the Level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma in Sport or move directly into roles in coaching, fitness instruction or sport development.
Studying at Wigan Warriors College means learning in a professional sports environment where every session is designed to build your confidence, skill and understanding of elite-level performance.
