fibodo & AoC Sport Join Forces to Give Muscles a Business Degree
Picture this: 239 sports colleges across England get a free, high‑tech business class that’s actually useful. Thanks to a deal between fibodo—the award‑winning booking platform—and AoC Sport, the folks who grow sports education, students can snag a “Grow Your Business” e‑course that looks more like a pep talk from a savvy entrepreneur than a dull lecture.
Why It Matters (and Why It’s Fun)
This isn’t just a spreadsheet of theory. It teaches:
- How to pull in clients like a pro trainer pulls in reps
- Streamlining admin—because spreadsheets should be about numbers, not paperwork
- Tech hacks to keep your business running smoother than a treadmill
Bottom line: the goal is to give young fitness whizzes a leg‑up over other budding entrepreneurs. With 76,000 students already enrolling in sports‑coaching or fitness courses in England alone—and that number is jumping like a high‑jumper—having real‑world business know‑how can make all the difference.
CPD Points? Yes, Please!
The course carries three CPD points and works for anyone studying up to Level 4. Private and public colleges can plug it into their existing lineup, so there’s no need to belly‑ache over new curriculum.
Voices From the Front Lines
Marcus Kingwell, MD, AoC Sport: “We’ve worked with fibodo before during the WorldSkills UK Fitness Trainer Competition and were blown away. Bringing this course to all our colleges is a win for employability. It fixes the glaring gap in business skills that new trainers face, as highlighted in Last Year’s Future Fit Training report.”
Megan Sowney, Director, fibodo: “We’re all about empowering sports and activity pros at the grassroots level. This partnership gives tutors a powerful tool to ignite students’ aspirations for smashing business success.”
