These courses are designed to provide highly specialist, work-related qualifications in a range of vocational sport sectors. They provide learners with the knowledge, understanding and skills to prepare for employment in the sporting industry. Both of these qualifications aim to develop knowledge, understanding and skills of the principles of Sport and Physical Activity. Students will gain an insight into the sector as they investigate opportunities for delivery to a wide range of participants, whether it is to mobilise sedentary people to improve their health or to support regular participants in improving performance and fitness. Students will also gain core skills required for employment or further study in sectors such as communication, analysis, organisation and adaptation. The course covers a wide range of centre-assessed units with practical and wider project-based assessment opportunities, as well as externally examined units on the body systems and the long and short-term impacts of sport and physical activity; how sport is organised and the purpose of sports development; health and safety requirements; the purpose of, and how to conduct, research in sport and physical activity; how sport businesses are organised and what success looks like to them.
Minimum Grade 4 at GCSE PE. Ideally a 4 in English too, due to the amount of written work. Students must have studied GCSE PE or a L2 sports course.
Each course consists of units of work which are graded separately. These grades are then all placed together to achieve an overall grade of a pass - distinction*. The certificate consists of two externally marked units alongside three internally marked coursework units. The diploma consists of three externally marked units alongside eight internally marked coursework units
