Course summary

BTEC Level 3 Nationals are vocational qualifications designed to help pupils succeed within the sports industry. They have been developed in collaboration with over 5,000 universities, employers and professional bodies with employability at their heart, so our pupils can develop the skills and confidence they will need to step into their future. This qualification is recognised by universities and will enable pupils to study PE & Sport to degree-level and beyond. This may be taken alongside one or two A-Levels or another BTEC, leading to a Certificate or Diploma respectively.

Entry requirements

Academic assessment will be based on GCSE predictions and results. Pupils wishing to enter the 6th Form to study A-levels or BTECs should have a minimum of 7 GCSEs, including English and Mathematics, at levels 5 or above and at least three, usually in the subjects to be studied, at level 6 or above. Pupils with lower grades may still be offered a place in the 6th Form to study alternatives to A-levels dependent upon individual areas of expertise and aptitude.

How you'll be assessed

This BTEC has been designed as part of a two-year programme, and is normally taken in conjunction with one or more A-Levels depending on the course selected. The Extended Certificate is equivalent in study time to one A-Level and consists of four teaching units (three mandatory and one optional) while the Diploma equates to two A-Levels consisting of nine units (six mandatory plus three optional). Pupils will be assessed through internal assignments that may be both written and practically based, externally assessed units that are set and marked by Pearson and written examinations.
