This course provides an introduction to the sport and active leisure sector by developing a broad range of knowledge and skills in a variety of sport related areas. BTECs are made up of a number of units that have a practical focus with supporting knowledge and understanding that is assessed through on-going coursework. This allows students to build their qualification in stages and take responsibility for their own learning by planning their work, completing research and reviewing their progress under the supervision of Departmental staff. The course has flexibility to allow students to specialise in certain areas, such as performance and coaching, or to complete differing levels with corresponding credit point values. BTECs can be taken alongside traditional A Levels and earn equivalent UCAS points. Universities and colleges value the independent study skills required by students along with the organisation, time management, communication and research skills that are also highly thought of by employers.
Students undertaking the course are likely to have completed a GCSE in Physical Education but more importantly have experience performing practically at a high level and are independent, reflective learners who think creatively. The BTEC Diploma (two A Level equivalent) will be taken alongside no more than two other subjects.
