Wright Football Services to Schools

Wright Football have successfully delivered full time NVQ programmes within Berks and Bucks, for several years. The programmes are designed to integrate with existing courses within your PE department.
The course is structured to include a combination of National Governing Body awards and work based learning vocational qualifications.

Introduction to the NVQ Football Coaching Programme

The NVQ Football Coaching Programme is a practical-based course which is delivered in both years 12 and 13. The course can combine Level 2 and 3 National Vocational Qualifications in Coaching, Teaching and Instruction alongside FA Coaching certificates.

The well structured range of courses provide a valuable addition to the school’s current curriculum programme. The qualifications gained enable students to follow pathways into both higher education and employment within the sports industry

The NVQ Football Coaching programme is 85% practical-based, so it provides an excellent alternative to A-level PE for students who struggle with high levels of theory.

The aim of this full-time course is to support sixth form schools and colleges by offering vocational options for Level 2 students in line with Department for Education and Skills (DFES) recommendations.

The NVQ Football Coaching programme is approved for full funding from the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) in line with Section 96 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000.
