"We get to use the Fitness Centre next door, which has a large sports hall, gym and swimming pool." Barnardo Maia, Sports Level 2
“I always liked sports from a young age and practise whenever I have the chance. Carshalton College is my local college and as they had a good range of Sports courses, I chose to enrol on the Level 1 Sports course last year.
I immediately liked the staff tutors who were friendly and approachable and the facilities looked good. We get to use the mini gym in the College plus Pulse Health & Fitness Centre next door, which has a large sports hall to play football, basketball, badminton etc. Also a fully equipped gym with loads of equipment and of course a swimming pool.
I am now on the Level 2 Sports course. The most enjoyable aspects of the course are still the practical lessons and games! If you are a full time student on any course, not just sports, you get free use of Pulse during the day 5 days a week!
I would really recommend the course and the college. I feel I have really learnt a lot in my time here and for someone who has only spend a few years in the UK, I find the staff hugely supportive and helpful to any extra support I need and are always encouraging me."
