The sports industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in society. You only have to look at the rise of performance analysis in elite sport or at the growth of the Olympic and Paralympic movements to see that with the right qualifications and a passion for sport, there are a huge number of exciting opportunities open to talented young people. A Level PE represents the first steps towards these opportunities.
