About
Prior to starting work at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳ Philippe previously taught elsewhere in Higher Education as well as in the Further Education, Coach Education, and Adult Vocational Education Sectors. Philippe has a strong vocational background and is a qualified FE lecturer, assessor and internal verifier, a coach educator for several NGBs, as well as being a Licensed British Weightlifting Coach. Before working in education he worked in the fields of Adolescent/Youth work, Sports Development, and as a gym instructor/PT.

Alongside this, Philippe played for Great Britain in Australian Rules football, played national level club qualifiers in Sevens Rugby, and has competed internationally in several strength sports.
