The Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship is designed for individuals who are passionate about sport, physical activity, and making a positive impact in their local community. This programme prepares you to plan, deliver, and evaluate inclusive activity sessions that encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to get active and stay healthy.

As an apprentice, you’ll be employed while you train, gaining hands-on experience in community settings such as schools, leisure centres, youth clubs, or sports clubs.

You can also find your own employer. If you already have an employer who is willing to take you on as an apprentice, then click the yellow 'Express an Interest' button and we will ask for the employer details as part of the request

You’ll learn how to deliver safe, engaging, and inclusive activity sessions tailored to the needs of different groups. This includes understanding behaviour management, safeguarding, health and safety, and how to adapt activities for people with varying abilities and motivations.

You’ll also develop skills in communication, teamwork, leadership, and community engagement—essential for building trust and encouraging participation in physical activity programmes.

There are no formal qualifications needed to start the Community Activator Coach Level 2 Apprenticeship—just a passion for sport and physical activity and a desire to help others lead healthier lives. This programme is ideal for individuals who are energetic, approachable, and committed to making a difference in their community.

However, some employers may set their own entry requirements, such as specific GCSE grades or experience in volunteering or coaching. If you have not yet achieved a GCSE Grade 3/D or E (or equivalent) in English and Maths, you will be required to complete Functional Skills Level 1 in these subjects as part of your apprenticeship. Don’t worry—support will be provided to help you achieve these essential qualifications alongside your training.

You’ll be assessed throughout the apprenticeship through practical observations, written assignments, and a portfolio of evidence. Your college tutor and employer will support you in developing your skills and tracking your progress.

At the end of the programme, you’ll complete an End Point Assessment (EPA). This includes a practical coaching session, a professional discussion, and a review of your portfolio to demonstrate your competence and readiness to work independently as a community activator coach.
