thePoint4 for students

At RNC, we like to offer you something different. Enhancing a variety of the courses that you can chose from, we have a public leisure facility that offers unique work experience opportunities on site.

thePoint4 is a fully accessible, international standard sports centre which has hosted many large events, including the Blind Football World Championships in 2010 and the Blind Football European Championships in 2015.

thePoint4 is open to the community who attend exercise classes and use the gym, spa suite, sports hall and 3G pitch facilities.

Students can take advantage of these facilities for their personal use, yet they also provide valuable work placement opportunities. So, if you are interested in catering, you can work on the Pod. This is our public cafe. It gives you the chance to work with our catering partners, Baxter Storey.

For anyone wanting to develop customer service skills, thePoint4 reception is a busy hub with a constant stream of customers and telephone enquiries to deal with.

If you are a student on one of the Sport and Recreation courses, you will get the chance to practice your developing skills on members of the public. Personal trainers work with clients in the public gym and group exercise classes are run during term time by students for members and non members alike.

As a Massage and Complementary Therapies student, you will also provide a weekly sports massage clinic, giving you valuable work experience and contributing to thePoint4 community.
