Choosing between A-levels and a diploma course very much depends on your individual goals, learning style, and career aspirations. Below are some of the benefits of choosing Rockley’s Extended Level 3 Diploma in Sport (Outdoor Adventure) course:
CAREER GOALS
Diploma courses are often designed to prepare students for specific industries or professions. If you know that you want a career in the outdoor adventure, sport or marine industries with its many opportunities and career choices, then this is the course for you!
ROUNDED EXPERIENCE
Diploma college courses get you better prepared for the work place or your degree subject - should you wish to go to university. Rockley’s diploma course offers a rounded college experience and works on developing key personal and social skills as well as focusing on an individual’s academic achievements.
Diplomas involve a series of assignments which can be written or activity based and are completed throughout the year. This way, you spread out the work, relieving yourself from exam pressure and enabling you to assess your progress throughout the course of the year. If you struggle with exams and prefer a more continual assessment approach, this could be a better fit for you.
ASSESSMENT METHODS
With a steer towards a more vocational approach to learning, Diplomas are great if you want to study through practical, hands-on learning. With the additional opportunity of work experience with Rockley and the advantages of studying within a working activity centre, you get a real insight into the opportunities available to you.
Many universities support diploma courses - in fact many of our graduates have gone on to study at university. Universities also recognise the many personal and skills-based benefits of choosing this type of course - Rockley’s course offers so many extra optional practical water-based learning with the opportunity to use these skills during their course.
