The Sports and Leisure department offers a health and fitness suite for students to use as part of their studies and recreation.

A full sports programme, including the opportunity to be part of the West Kent College Sports Academy, gives students the additional benefit of being able to progress their individual skills in their chosen sport.

The courses also provide an opportunity to take a Level 1 or Level 2 coaching award together with first aid qualifications and community sports leaders award, which will assist in future employment in the leisure industry. All staff have extensive vocational experience, which enables them to provide essential advice and guidance in career development.
