This module is delivered in Semester 1 (Autumn intake) and Semester 3 (Spring intake). This module aims to provide an opportunity for the student to apply and develop the theoretical and practical underpinnings already explored in the taught program. Students will apply a variety of approaches to teaching, learning and coaching in the workplace ‘placement’. The student will evaluate their core competencies in PE using and implementing reflective practice concepts. Placement will take place off-site at various placement locations as organised by students. Placement must take place outside of typical class times. Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from placement sites. 

Student will track their progress in the e-Portfolio which they will complete throughout year 1,2,3 and will be able to use it to showcase their knowledge, skills and competencies to potential employers after they finish the course. This will enhance their digital skills and support their development throughout the programme and beyond.
