Summer Season Courses
You can combine working with gaining a
qualification, coaching certificate or simply learn more about your
chosen field or sport.
Outdoor sports companies offer the chance to 'earn while you learn' and get paid while you also complete an outdoor sports competency award. Some outdoor training organisations such as Flying Fish will train you, then help find you work. Some companies offer free watersports instructor training for disadvantaged 18 - 24 year olds and subsidised instructor courses for all over 18's.
Another
great way to get that bit more out of your time away is to get work as a
TEFL school assistant and work towards a teaching certificate while you
do it (see the TEFL section
for more info). There are also many sports academies for sports such as
football and tennis that offer summer long courses and training camp
places. As part of a gap year you might want to volunteer (contribution
normally required) and train in sub aqua or gain practical experience in
your chosen field.
