You can choose to take the Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Sport, which is equivalent in size to two A Levels, or the Extended Diploma, equivalent in size to three A Levels. Both these courses will enhance your knowledge across a breadth of sport related modules. BTEC Sport will allow you to go on to further education and to study a range of courses at university such as sport sciences, sports coaching, sport and exercise development and sports journalism. These courses are primarily applied general qualifications, which cover many aspects of the sports sector.
One of the main reasons to choose this course is if you have a genuine passion for and interest in sport. If you have a focused work ethic and prefer the concept of a coursework based course with no terminal examinations, then this will suit you. The course also appeals to pupils who may be performing at a high level themselves with a demanding training and competitive schedule. The vast majority of the work is completed during lesson time therefore there is less preparation work to complete outside of school.
Each two-year course consists of Mandatory and Optional units, with the Optional units determined by staff expertise and pupil interest. The Mandatory units are: • Anatomy and Physiology • Fitness Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Well-being • Professional Development in the Sports Industry • Sports Leadership
