What our students say:

"I have never been to America before, and was really happy and excited to be given the chance to play football there. When I found out I had been selected for a scholarship I was so pleased."

Godfrey Poku, NOCN Diploma in Progression Football

"I have always enjoyed playing sports from a young age and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into my education. I enrolled at Redbridge College in 2007 on a National Certificate in Sport with Football. All my tutors were really helpful and offered me help whenever I needed it, I felt comfortable to ask them for help if ever I needed it.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the module in sports massage and sports psychology. We always applied our theory to the practical sessions and it really made the theory come to life. I am currently in my second year of university and play for Barking Ladies football team. I hope to become a Physical Education teacher.

"I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in sports as the course is really enjoyable and is a stepping stone to university. Whilst on the course don’t be afraid to ask for help, the tutors are always there to help. Redbridge college also provides a great enrichment programme where you can take part in activities unrelated to your course on a Wednesday afternoon. Activities include basketball, choir, DJ skills and many more. I was able to sing at many college events and currently work with the college choir."
