LEWIS HAYES 4
BTEC Level 2 Certificate in Sport,
BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Sport
Graduated 2021
I began my studies with the Robins Foundation on the BTEC
Level 2 in Sport before progressing onto the BTEC Level 3
Extended Diploma in Sport. Over the last three years, the Robins
Foundation has helped me develop both on and off the pitch.
It has helped me develop new skills I didn’t realise I had. It has
also given me the opportunity to gain new qualifications such as
my FA Level 1 in Football Coaching and my first aid badge. The
Foundation has enabled me to become a better person and the
lecturers have been there every step of the way in helping me
become a positive and confident individual.
I could not recommend going to the Foundation more, it has
been the best three years of my school time. I would say to
all prospective students to take every opportunity that the
foundation provides you with. The coaching experience,
additional qualifications, academic support sessions after
lessons, volunteering and work experience all contribute to you
achieving a better grade and final result. If you get involved in
all the extra activities and little bits you will enjoy every single
second at the Foundation.
