The BTEC National Diploma in Sport qualification is equivalent in size to two A Levels. The course has been designed as part of a two-year program, to be studied in conjunction with one or more additional Level 3 qualifications. The Diploma requires learners to study nine units, of which six are mandatory with three of those six units being externally assessed.
The standard entry requirement to our Sixth Form is five GCSE grades of 4 or above, including English and Maths. Grade 4 minimum Science. Having studied GCSE PE or BTEC Sport at KS4 would be of significant benefit. A commitment and interest in the subject, with the ability to specialize in both an individual and team sport.
For both courses, students will complete units that are assessed either internally or externally. Internally assessed units require students to write up their own findings and present their work using a variety of presentation methods. Internally assessed units are subject to external standards verification. Externally assessed units are taken under exam conditions either as an exam or through the completion of a pre released task. Externally assessed units are marked by Pearson.
