The company was formed in 2004 and initially provided coaching qualifications for the sport of inline roller hockey. This extended into the provision of educational programs in partnership with schools and colleges providing qualifications aligned to the UK National Qualifications Framework. This allowed us to work with students from an early age right up to 18 and provide them the opportunity to enter university. We currently hold Government contracts for the provision of the Sports Young Apprenticeship program and 16-18 apprenticeship programs across all aspects of the sport & leisure industry.
In 2008 we became a key partner in an international football studies program involving a Premiership football club. This program sees students from all over the World have the opportunity to increase their skill level whilst receiving an education. Negotiations are currently underway to establish similar programs with other Premiership clubs and from 2012 a cricket studies program will commence.
In 2007 the company moved to the prestigious Bolton Arena. Built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games the Arena is a central hub for sport & leisure in the North West region. We have 6 offices at the facility including our own dedicated ICT Suite and have access to all the facilities to enhance our programs.
In 2011 we established a subsidiary company in India and are currently negotiating with key partners in establishing centres in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Singapore.
