National Skills Academy Recruitment

The National Skills Academy in Sport and Active Leisure is the most exciting and high profile project yet to be launched in the sector. It will provide a single approach to the highest standards of skills training.  The Academy is an initiative of SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure and Learning.

One of the biggest challenges facing sport and active leisure employers – public, private or voluntary – is the ability to access publicly funded, industry-recognised, quality assured training.  This is at a time when the Government’s ongoing initiatives to promote healthy living, together with the build-up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, are generating substantially increased focus on sport and active leisure.

The NSA is a network of employer-led, world-class centres of excellence delivering the skills required by employers in the sector, on a local level via leading edge training centres, quality assured courses and distance learning.

The sport and active leisure sector will benefit from the NSA as it will revolutionise education and training.
