We caught up with Fd Sports Coaching, Development & Fitness student, Charlotte Bingham!
She said: “I studied Level 3 Sport at Middlesbrough College, then I progressed to Level 4. I’m now completing the Level 5 course and I love it!
“I’ve had so many opportunities while studying here, and I feel like it’s opened so many doors. I’ve been able to complete a work placement with Middlesbrough Football Club, which is an amazing thing to add to my CV and was definitely a highlight for me! The College has also provided me with £500 for additional training as part of my course, which I’ve put towards developing my coaching skills.
“As well as my studies, I work at the College as a gymnastics instructor which has really helped to prepare me for a career in coaching.
“I would definitely recommend the course and Middlesbrough College to anyone that wants to build a career in this industry. The teaching is so varied, and I’ve got to learn about different routes, such as sports development, coaching and teaching, which has been really helpful.”
