The group finished with 30 students (out of 34) achieving triple distinctions (DDD), 22 of whom achieved D*D*D*. Many of the students achieved these grades alongside studying for additional professional qualifications in Sports Massage and Gym Instructing.Course tutor, Adam Gledhill is delighted with the results saying: “I am very pleased and proud of the students. The results are testament to their hard work and commitment to the Extended Diploma course. Having received the results many students can relax, knowing that they have made the grade to progress to university in September. The Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science gives a good grounding for those wanting to go on to study for careers in areas such as physiotherapy, sports therapy, personal training and sport science. I would like to congratulate all of the students on their fantastic achievements and wish them the very best of luck with their future endeavours.”Back to News Stories listing
