Study Programmes

What is a Study Programme?

Study Programmes are the first step for school leavers, aged 16-19 years. Over 12 months, you’ll study for a vocational (practical) qualification and gain some work experience. You’ll also build on your employability skills and achieve the level of maths and English that employers look for.

Fitness Training Academy – Powered by Nike

About this course

The FTA is an alternative to college and A-levels for 16-18-year olds. The FTA gives you a step into the fitness industry with a fully-funded two-year course.

In that time, you’ll become a qualified Personal Trainer and gain professional experience with weekly work placements at established fitness and leisure clubs.

Employability

About this course

This Study Programme will equip you with the necessary skills, experience, knowledge, confidence and motivation required to enter and succeed in the world of work.

We will design this course around you and can cover a variety of areas such as: 

  • Business and customer awareness
  • How to set targets, manage your time and keep improving
  • Understanding work principles, motivation and customers
  • Understanding innovation, problem solving and creative thinking
  • Managing a project and understanding risk
  • Planning a budget and tackling number problems
  • Working in a team and dealing with conflict
  • Social media in the workplace
  • Job search, application and interview skills.

Qualifications available:

Level 1 and Level 2 Employability Skills

Pre-apprenticeships

What is a Pre-apprenticeship?

Pre-apprenticeships are a way for 16-24-year olds to develop first-hand experience of the workplace with a 6-month pre-apprenticeship (sometimes called an internship).

We reach out to employers for you to make sure we line up work experience in your area of interest.

Getting work experience is one of the best ways of signalling to an employer that you’re ready for work.

Apprenticeships

What is an apprenticeship?

If you already have some relevant work experience, and a strong level of maths and English too, you may feel ready to go straight for an apprenticeship. Anyone between the ages of 16-65 can apply to become an apprentice. Read more about apprenticeships, how they work and what’s expected of you.
