What does an apprenticeship look like?
The Stride Active PE & Sport Apprenticeship programme is delivered in partnership with Riverside Training. It provides an exciting opportunity for anyone to explore a career in coaching or teaching, whilst allowing schools to build extra capacity in PE and school sport. As an apprentice you will support the delivery of PE, extra-curricular clubs, health and physical activity interventions, making a positive difference to young people’s engagement and physical activity levels.
Apprentices are employed by one school for 13 months, term-time only. During this time, you will be in school 4 days per week and will have 1 study/tutor day each week. The programme is aimed at anyone aged 16+ who is passionate about working with young people and enjoys sport / physical activity. To find out more, including frequently asked questions, take a look at our apprenticeship recruitment pack or complete the expression of interest at the bottom of the page and a member of the team will get back in touch with you.
We have worked with Riverside Training to develop a Level 4 and Level 5 PE apprenticeship, which provides further opportunity for progression. You can find out more about all three courses on Riverside Training’s website.
My apprenticeship experience has been amazing and has benefited me massively in furthering and developing my knowledge and experience within a school setting and working with pupils. I would definitely recommend the PE apprenticeship to anyone thinking of doing it if they are interesting in teaching and coaching within a school.
