Course summary

The New BTEC Nationals in Sport are a suite of Sports qualifications. All qualifications in the suite share some common units and assessments, allowing learners some flexibility in moving between ‘sizes’. BTEC Nationals have always required applied learning—this means you will be assessed as you go through the course. You will use your knowledge and understanding along with practical and technical skills. You will perform vocational tasks and apply transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are valued in both higher education and the workplace. Foundation Diploma — this qualification covers the fundamentals of the sport sector. It is the equivalent of 1.5 A Levels. In addition to the mandatory units above students study Sports Leadership and 3 optional units.
