The BTEC Sport course is for students wishing to study sport related degrees at university and/or wishing to pursue a career in the sports industry. The main aspects of the course include physiology, training and fitness, coaching, sports psychology and a range of other sport specific units. Students are expected to be committed to improving their coaching skills, fitness and practical performance and sports science knowledge. The qualification has been designed as part of a two-year programme, and is normally taken in conjunction with a single A-level. The course is equivalent to two A-levels.
The College’s entry requirements will be sufficient for this course. This will mean that students are equipped with reasonable written communication skills before joining. Ideally you would also have at least a grade 6 at GCSE PE and/or sciences.
Learners are assessed through externally assessed units in the form of examination and set tasks. Internally assessed units include case studies, the student’s own research, project work and the demonstration of practical and technical skills. Mandatory content (75%). External assessment (45%).
