You will do practical sessions in our Endurance fitness suite, private gyms and Xcite West Lothian Leisure. The college is an active member of Scottish Student Sport. We have sports teams in football, rugby, basketball and badminton, so you will have the opportunity to represent the college in various external leagues.
I was a bit nervous about returning to education after such a long gap but it is one of the best things I have ever done. Don't think twice, if it's what you want to do don't let anything hold you back!
