SPORT, HEALTH & FITNESS
Welcome to Sport, Health & Fitness
On our Sport, Health and Fitness programmes you will learn with like-minded people, who are all motivated, focussed and driven to develop themselves both physically and mentally. With access to our specialist fitness studios, Technogym-equipped gyms and sports massage therapy suites, you will gain essential practical experience to use alongside the theoretical elements of the course.
Students on our Sport and Sport Science courses regularly go out into the local community to practise their newly acquired skills in real life settings such as schools, festivals and community events, to help prepare for careers in this diverse field.
Our qualifications equip learners to become professionals in their chosen industry which may be a PE teacher, personal trainer, nutritionist or sports massage therapist. Many of our previous students have gone on to secure places at some of the country’s leading sports universities.

Before you hear from our lecturers and take a look through the course content, why not hear what our students say!
"I initially chose to study at Petroc because I saw the amazing facilities, it is in a very accessible location and is full of friendly, helpful staff.
I chose this Sport Therapy course because it had great reviews and I wanted to broaden my knowledge on massage and get a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology. I love our practical sessions!
When I leave Petroc I hope to work in a salon, gaining more experience. Then maybe work for myself one day.
If you choose this course, make sure you love learning about the human body and don’t think that just because it’s sports therapy you have to know lots about sports!"
