We’re pleased to share with you the 2015 Premier Education Group annual training programme, where you will find an array of courses designed to enhance you and your colleagues. We can now offer accredited, practical courses for you through our 1st4Sport training centre and theoretical courses for business development.

Our team of expert facilitators will be delivering and presenting training in a number of regions across the UK, meaning there will be courses locally to you.

Ofsted recently released their latest report following the £150m-a-year fund introduced in all England’s primary schools last year to build on the 2012 Olympics legacy. On the whole the report showed schools are making good use of the money and pupils’ PE skills were improving.

Here’s the amazing bit, Premier Sport are delivering PE & sport in a staggering 15% of the schools that Ofsted highlighted in the recent report for having good/outstanding use of the sports premium. They could've chosen any from 27,000!

Premier Education Group’s accredited training centre launched the 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Learning in Physical Education and School Sport (PESSL2) in December 2013.

Since then a total of 61 learners (43% franchisees/licensees, 36% Activity Professionals and 21% apprentices) have attended the course which is great, however so far, only seven learners have successfully completed the course in its entirety and gained the full certification.

PEG was delighted to welcome your Franchise Champions to Head Office ahead of the upcoming regional network meetings. The purpose of the meeting was to hear all the latest news and developments from Head Office departments which will in turn be relayed to you soon.

As you’d expect, we’ll continue to invest heavily in our systems and product development to ensure we’re supporting your business for another year of fantastic growth. In fact, over the last year we invested over £100,000 on the BMS upgrades and Schools Portal. We’ll continue to match that in the year ahead.
