Assessment

The AS includes sections on Anatomy and Physiology, Acquiring Movement Skills and Socio-Cultural Studies and is 70% theory and 30% practical. AS is examined via two written examinations. Practical Coursework is internally assessed but externally moderated on one chosen activity. This usually involves performing that sport to a high level, alternatively, the candidate can be assessed as a coach of their chosen sport. Candidates are also required to observe a performance in their chosen sport, then Evaluate and Analyse Performance for Improvement (EAPI), and give an oral response outlining their action plan. The EAPI is worth 15% of the final grade.
