The aim of the qualification is to develop each learner’s ability to lead safe and engaging physical activity sessions in the relevant pathway. 

The objective of the qualification is to provide a benefit to learners by supporting a voluntary or paid role as an activity leader in a school, community or commercial leisure environment. Whilst attending the qualification learners will develop the knowledge and skills required to be able to: 

• fulfil duties associated with leading inclusive physical activities
• drive engagement through inclusive physical activities
• meet the deployment expectations when leading inclusive physical activities in a selected sport or physical activity pathway context 

Each pathway is developed in partnership with technical experts in the context of the pathway including governing bodies of sport. The partners are listed in each pathway specification, which are linked at the bottom of this webpage. Recognised centres are not able to seek approval status for this qualification. Instead they should identify the pathway qualification they wish to deliver and seek approval for that pathway via TAMS.
