BTEC Sport allows you to view sport from all angles, from performers to professionals. It is a great basis for anyone wishing to take up a career based around sport or study Sport at university. The course offers a vast range of units and in-depth knowledge to help you understand all aspects of the sporting spectrum. It differs from A Level Physical Education as it is worth two A Levels and is predominately coursework-based. It is not essential to have take GCSE Physical Education, but it would make some of the areas easier if you have done so. Any decent textbook or magazine on the study of human movement (units 1 and 2) would help, but ideally you should have a good English Language, Biology and Physics background and be interested in the sporting world. Although you will be able to utilise your own experiences, it would be good that you are aware of the latest news and issues. It might give some an advantage to be an excellent performer in the practical performance (unit 7) – but it would also depend on the individual’s observational and analysis skills (unit 23) and to apply correctly their theoretical knowledge of the course to obtain high marks.
4 in PE, where taken, and Biology or 4,4 in Dual Award Science.
