STUDENT STORY
Cameron Evans
Advanced Certificate : Football Studies
HNC : Sports Coaching and Development ( Football Coaching )
HND : Sports Coaching and Development
I started studying at Fife College on the Football Studies course , which was more of an introduction to football coaching , getting used to different sessions and just getting a wee bit of a feel for it . When I moved on to the HNC , we started doing more development work and looking at nutrition . Then the HND was more advanced .
After completing my studies , I went on to start full-time work at Raith Rovers Community Foundation . I began working with the Foundation when I was in my HNC class as I needed a placement . And from there , I ’ ve worked my way up to becoming a full-time Football Development Officer .
“ It ’ s been a great journey for me and I would 100 % recommend that people apply !”
