GCSE PE can act as a vital stepping stone towards a career in sports. Once the relevant A-Levels/ BTEC/ degrees have also been completed the world is your oyster! Here is a range of careers that GCSE PE can lead to in later life:

1. A coach/ instructor

Try and step away from the usual gym instructors or elite sports coaches- although these are quite plausible! What about spending a few ski seasons in the Alps teaching people how to ski or going to the Caribbean as a qualified SCUBA diver? Don’t fancy that? How about an outdoor sports specialist based in the South of France catering for school trips? Gaining a GCSE in PE will help to make your pupils more appealing to any employee in the sport and activity world and what a motivating tool this could be to any pupil who fancies being paid to travel the world!
