The BTEC in Sport and Exercise Science is a great opportunity to take part in work-related learning, giving learners an edge and opening the door to higher education or employment in sport sectors. There are clear progression routes: such as BSc in Sport, Physical Education and Coaching Science. It also supports progression into direct entry level roles such as physical activity leader or fitness/leisure assistant.

With a key focus on Anatomy and Physiology, Fitness Training and programming, and professional development. Prior study of a PE course at level 2, regular involvement in sport or sports leadership is desirable and will help students when completing assessments to draw on their experiences and provide them with a starting point to develop their knowledge and application to the sporting context more effectively.
