Active Hastings Academy

We know that traditional employability courses don't work for everyone. With Active Hastings Academy you can learn the skills and get the qualifications you need to get a job, without having to spend hours in a classroom. You'll have fun and play sports at every session.

You don't have to be fit or sporty, or want a job in sport after the course is finished, you just have to want to move into work.
