Our Further Education (FE) programme provides the opportunity for student-players to reach their academic potential in an FE level qualification alongside the elite level futsal training and development offered by the IFA.

Loughborough College provides a wide range of academic opportunities that have a focus on the application of knowledge and provide students with the opportunity to develop transferable skills for their career development or further studies.

The dual-development of both academic and sporting excellence is an important aspect of athlete success in Loughborough. The strong links between the sports and academic departments ensures that we deliver a holistic student-player development programme.

Our FE student-players come from numerous academic profiles, including those with GCSE’s, BTECs, or OCR Level 2 (or equivalent). Please contact us to discuss the entry requirements for specific FE courses.

Here are just some of the FE courses available to you:

• AS and A2 Level
• BTEC
• Higher education access courses
• Level 2 Diplomas
• NVQ
• VTCT

We are always more than happy to book you in for a campus tour, where you will have the opportunity, along with family members, to view the fantastic facilities and accommodation available at Loughborough.

We also offer residential “taster camps” throughout the year where prospective player-students can spend a few days with us to experience first-hand what the IFA has to offer. Please contact us for more information on the next available camp.
