About the Sport and Fitness Department

The Sports industry is rapidly expanding and we are ready to help you continue with your sporting journey and career. Kelvin Sport courses cover Fitness, Adventure Sport, Football, Games and Sport.

We teach over two campuses; our anchor campus is in Springburn which facilitates our Games Hall, Dance and Spin Studio, fitness suite, and strength and conditioning suite. Our newest addition to our facilities is based in Easterhouse, where we have a brand new fitness studio supplied by Powerhouse.

The college also offers lunchtime classes for various sports and fitness clubs, and free access to our gyms, throughout the year.

 

About Our Courses

Our courses ranges from NQ level 4, for those who are either leaving school or just getting back into studying all the way up to HND level for those wishing to progress into a career or university studies.

Our courses are a blend of academic and practical classes. We have well-established links in the local community and businesses to provide you with voluntary and work placements. We provide you with the opportunity to attend additional courses that will benefit your skills and enhance your college and life experience.

We particularly welcome applications from people who are often underrepresented in Sports, we run fully inclusive courses.
