    Sport

    Do you want your passion for sports to become your career?

    Studying Sport at Kidderminster College, you'll learn how to translate your enthusiasm into a profession within the sports industry, discovering the diverse career paths available. Whether your ambition is to become a personal trainer or to work in professional sports, you'll receive guidance from former professionals who can mentor you along your journey.

    At our Market Street campus, we have our very own gym – KinetiC. This gym is a perfect space for our students to take part in the sports classes but also allows our students to experience life managing their gym – as it’s open for our staff and students throughout the week.

    If professional football is your goal, our partnership with the Kidderminster Harriers Academy offers you the chance to receive education while being trained to a professional standard. Located at our Centre of Sporting Excellence, you'll effectively balance your practical training with theoretical learning.
