Apprenticeship in Active Leisure and Learning
Apprenticeships in the Active Leisure Sector have been designed to present opportunities for young people to develop a mix of practical and technical skills that will allow them to both develop at work and, where applicable, progress to higher education.
Apprenticeships are the current Government’s flagship programme for entering the workforce in all sectors and apprentices learn on the job, building up knowledge and skills, gaining qualifications and earning money at the same time. There are different levels of the Apprenticeship available, but they all lead to a National Vocational Qualification (NVQs), Key Skill qualifications and a range of Technical Certificates which give the underpinning knowledge necessary to achieve the NVQ and allow for broader learning and development opportunities.
Which Apprenticeship and choice of NVQ is right for an individual will depend on their experience and the role being undertaken. The range of Level 2 NVQs available in the framework cover career pathways in coaching, fitness instructing, leisure centre operations, playwork, spectator control and activity leadership. Progression onto an Advanced Apprenticeship at Level 3 framework allows access to higher level training in sports development, leisure management playwork, instructing physical activity and exercise, coaching and outdoor programmes.
There are no set entry requirements for the programme but interested employers and providers will need to ensure that the young person has the potential to achieve the different components, be working at the right level and across the correct range of activities in the workplace.
To access the programme people must be living in England, and not taking part in full-time education. There are no age constraints on who can do an Apprenticeship however the current ‘guarantee group’are young people aged 16-19. There is no time set to complete an apprenticeship but they will usually take between 12 (apprenticeship) and 24 months (advanced apprenticeship).
