ABOUT THE COURSE
This part-time postgraduate certificate programme is ideally suited to those who are seeking to enhance their career within youth sport and physical education. A combination of one classroom session each week and a structured approach to independent study will equip you to critically evaluate your own professional practice, adopt evidence informed approaches and influence developments within your profession.
The core critical pedagogies units will help you to develop an advanced understanding of teaching and learning, applying this knowledge to current practices in youth sport and physical education. Optional units in professional practice or wellbeing in youth sport will improve your understanding of the context in which youth sport and physical education is delivered. You will also study approaches to monitoring and evaluation, enabling you to critique current practices and evaluate policy.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
