SQA HNC Sports Coaching and Development (GP7X 15)

The HNC and HND in Sports Coaching and Development gives learners the knowledge and skills necessary to work as professionals within the sector.

The topics covered range from human anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to sports coaching, sports development and professional practice — including research skills.

This HNC includes an embedded, stand-alone, industry-recognised Professional Development Award in Sports Coaching at SCQF level 7, and the HND includes an embedded PDA in Sports Coaching at SCQF level 8. Both PDAs are jointly certificated with sportscotland and the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity(CIMSPA).

These qualifications are available through colleges and some universities. Typically, an HNC takes one year to complete, and an HND takes two years to complete.
