Eight students were celebrating after successfully completing a Prince’s Trust Programme, in association with the London Leisure College.

 

The Get Into Sports and Leisure programme gives disadvantaged 16-24 year olds the opportunity to gain qualifications in the Sport & Leisure Industry. The two week course also aims to build individuals confidence and motivation.

 

During the programme the group studied for a Community Sports Leadership Award Level 2 certificate. These sessions allowed the group to visit the Charlton Athletic Football Club training ground and observe coaching sessions in action.

 

The programme also included equality and diversity training, careers workshops with experts from the industry, a team building exercise at the David Beckham Academy and a tour of the 02.

 

After completing the course students were awarded certificates from London Leisure College and the Prince’s Trust

 

Neil MacGillivray Head of Sport, Leisure & Tourism from London Leisure College praised the students attitude and commitment to the course; "It has been a real pleasure working with the group and we wish them all the best for their future career plans"
