BTEC Sport is designed to provide a highly specialist, work-related qualification focused around the learner. It gives learners the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to prepare for future employment as a result of the variety of assessment tasks completed throughout the course. The unit-based structure and knowledge applied in project-based assessments focus on the holistic development of the practical, interpersonal and thinking skills required to succeed both in their qualification and also later in higher education and/or employment.
The minimum academic requirement for Sixth Form is six GCSEs at grades 9-5, including at least three grade 6s or equivalent. Students are normally expected to have at least a grade 6 in the subject to be studied to A-level, although specific requirements apply for some subjects.
Each assignment has a certain number of potential credits to be awarded and these units cover mandatory (compulsory) units as well as optional units that will build up the student’s overall portfolio of work. Units are assessed using a grading scale of Distinction, Merit, Pass and Unclassified. Teachers will mark each assignment; therefore, students will be able to know what overall grade they are working towards throughout the course. Each internally marked unit will then be externally verified. Learners could be given opportunities to: • write up the findings of their own research • use case studies to explore complex or unfamiliar situations • carry out projects for which they have choice over the direction and outcomes • demonstrate practical and technical skills. Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 22 are assessed externally. The styles of external assessment used for qualifications in Sport are: Unit 1 is a written examination – all learners take the same assessment at the same time Unit 2 and Unit 22 are set tasks – learners take the assessment during a defined window and demonstrate understanding through completion of a vocational task. This includes a period of preparation using pre-release information.
