How will it be delivered and assessed?

The education element of the programme will see students working towards the Cambridge Technical Extended Diploma in Sport, the equivalent of three full A-levels, ensuring university progression becomes a real option. Over the two-year programme students will cover a variety of different units, which link directly to potential career pathways in the sporting industry. The unique learning environment sees tutors challenged to use the power of football, sport and Norwich City FC to inspire and engage at every opportunity. It is this approach that sees a range of guest speakers enriching our own delivery.

Examples of how we have enhanced our unit delivery are illustrated with some of our recent guest speakers:

Dan Robathan - Premier League Match Official

Kenny McClean - NCFC Player

Jake Humphrey - International Broadcaster and CSF Chairperson
