Sport, Military & Emergency Services

Alicia chose to study Level 3 Sport at Warrington & Vale Royal College after hearing about its welcoming atmosphere and wanting a fresh start. With ambitions of becoming a Sport Science Teacher, she has enjoyed learning about the human body through both classroom and practical sessions. As a Student Ambassador, Alicia also enjoys sharing her experiences with prospective students. Supported by her tutors every step of the way, she is excited to return in September to complete her final year. 

"Coming to this college was the best decision I have ever made. Everyone, from my classmates and tutors to other college staff, has been so friendly and supportive during my time here so far!"

Former Kings Leadership Academy student, Toby, decided to study Level 3 Military and Emergency Services course at Warrington & Vale Royal College, as he believed it would best support his ambition of joining the Fire Service.

Since starting his studies at the college, Toby says he feels well supported by his tutors, who closely monitor his progress and take a genuine interest in his wellbeing. Toby has also gained long-lasting friendships which he says is the “best aspect” of studying at the college.

Toby says: “I would recommend this course to others! It has prepared me well for my next step, and I am grateful to my tutors for their support all the way through.”

During his time at the college, Callum has grown in confidence and thrived both academically and personally. He has enjoyed learning about the theory behind sport and the human body, while also getting involved in practical sessions that have helped develop his skills. As an active Student Ambassador, Callum has been a fantastic representative of the college, and upon completing his course, he hopes to progress onto the HNC in Sport & Exercise Sciences. 

"All of the tutors at the college are so friendly. I never have any issue asking for help, and I would definitely recommend this college to others!" 

Madeline chose to study Military and Emergency Services because it aligned perfectly with her career ambitions of becoming either an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or a Paramedic. Since joining the college, she has particularly enjoyed the practical aspects of the course, including the variety of trips, which have made her learning experience both engaging and informative.

“This course has shown me the value of the emergency services in today’s society. Throughout my studies, I have felt well supported by my tutors, who always encourage me to aim high and reach my full potential.” 

Harvey's time at college has been a journey of personal growth, new friendships and achieving his ambitions. Thanks to his hard work, Harvey is now undertaking his initial Army training, taking the first steps towards the future he always hoped to achieve. 

“I have really enjoyed the physical aspects of the course, particularly learning about the fitness testing for different public services. Understanding these essential benchmarks helped me prepare for the assessments required to join the Army, and I’m delighted to say that I have now been successful in securing my place.” 

Having completed his Level 3 qualification with us, Harry decided to stay on at the college to complete his level 4 and 5 qualifications. This decision was made easy due to the great relationships he built with the teaching staff in our Sport, Military & Emergency Services Academy.

After completing his level 5 qualification with us, Harry now hopes to complete further qualifications in sports analysis and gain more coaching qualifications to help him excel in his line of work.

“I love the feeling of ‘community’ around the college. Everybody sings from the same hymn sheet, allowing you to feel comfortable, welcome, and motivated during your studies.”
