HE@CRC SPORT (COACHING & SPORTS DEVELOPMENT) Chris Denis, 22, former HND Sport (Coaching & Sport Development) student, now studying a degree in Sports Coaching & Performance. I thoroughly enjoyed doing Level 3 Sport at CRC and gained a triple distinction, so I chose to do my HND there. It was a good foundation for the next step. Once I complete my degree, I would like to go into secondary school Physical Education teaching. I’m planning to undergo SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training) in order to gain appropriate qualifi cations and vital experience that will help me stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs. “ The experience of HE at Cambridge Regional College was tremendous. It differs from the Level 3 massively. It’s more independent and you feel yourself grow as an individual.

I would certainly have regretted not taking the opportunity to better myself and my future prospects.” Why did you choose to study HE Sport at CRC? I did a Level 3 in Sport at CRC which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I knew the location, the tutors and it meant I wouldn’t have to leave home. Level 3 is the time you begin to plan the route you want to go down and which career you want to follow in sport. ” What did you like about studying at CRC? Small groups helped aid progression and I liked the familiarity with the tutors and understanding the subjects. It was very straightforward to progress on to the top-up degree. What was the biggest difference between studying at Level 3 and Levels 4 & 5? Being able to adapt and write in a different style and use references accurately and correctly were the most signifi cant challenges. Academic writing is crucial and the use of references was a big difference. Organisation is key when you’re doing an HND and the dissertation is vital.
