CPD Opportunities

 

It is important to constantly look for ways to develop yourself in line with your professional responsibilities and ambitions. This can range from volunteering your time with a sports club or charity, taking on a summer internship or going through professional qualifications. There are also numerous FREE courses put on by sporting and non-sporting organisations that can help boost your knowledge and make you more employable.
