The Level 3 Community Sport and Health Officer (CSHO) apprenticeship is for individuals whose key work is to initiate behaviour change in communities with regards to their engagement in sports and physical activity.

During this apprenticeship programme, your staff will develop a comprehensive understanding of the principles of behaviour change, an ability to adapt delivery to suit different groups in society and knowledge of how to manage and lead colleagues or volunteers.
