There are three mandatory units of learning: (1) Anatomy and Physiology; (2) Fitness Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Wellbeing; and (3) Professional Development in the Sports Industry. Furthermore, you can also choose to study the following optional units: Sports Leadership; Application of Fitness Testing; Sport Psychology; and Practical Sports Performance.
All students who choose to study this course must have an active interest in sports science and play at least one sport at club level. Both of these elements are vital for success in BTEC Sport. Having already studied GCSE P.E. would be beneficial but is not a requirement of taking this course. Specifically, students who have achieved at least 4 grade 4 GCSEs and a minimum of a level 5 in GCSE P.E (if applicable) will be able to choose to study this course.
There are three types of assessment within the course: formal tests in exam conditions, controlled coursework in monitored conditions, and practical performance. This means students have the opportunity to aim for maximum marks in three different disciplines which caters for all students’ learning styles allowing them to excel.
