I would 100% recommend this course to people. Until you actually are in the course you don’t realise how much you can apply to your everyday life which makes the difference. It also is a massive foundation to what could eventually be a platform for a career in the industry. It also has brilliant progression opportunities to various other courses and jobs. The Sport and Recreation course really is one of the best around and in my opinion I would consider it the best because of the vast experience you receive and the guidance from the tutors is second to none. Every tutor wants you to succeed which is something you don’t receive everywhere. It also gives you a great insight into doing assignments which people wouldn’t be used to after secondary school.
