BTEC Sport Qualifications BTEC in Sport
Entry requirement(s) 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4
At Sixth Form we offer pupils who have a passion for sport the opportunity to study a BTEC in Sport with two different options: BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Sports Coaching (equivalent to two A Level options) and a BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Sports Coaching and Development (equivalent to one A Level option). Pupils will learn about careers and employment in sport, health and wellbeing and sports coaching. There will be a range of practical experiences to support the theory learning, including coaching sessions, fitness testing and health screening. Pupils are assessed throughout the course allowing them to see how they are doing at every stage, and therefore understand what they have to do to achieve their personal goals. Universities widely respect the course and the benefits it offers to pupils in terms of transferable skills sets them up very well to enter the world of work - whether in sport or otherwise.
