Students who study CTEC Sport at A Level go on to do Sports Coaching, Physical Education, Sports Marketing or Sports Business at University. They have the opportunity to follow careers in Sports Therapy, Sports Psychology, Teaching/Coaching, Marketing, Sports Development, Personal Training and Sports Analysis. The course consists of both internally and externally examined units. Students will complete exams in Unit 1 (Body systems) and Unit 3 (Sports organisation).
