PLYMOUTH COLLEGE
Sport Baccalaureate This is a complete two year course built around a central qualification of the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport and Outdoor Activities (1080) RQF. The BTEC Extended Diploma is a long-standing British qualification and is the equivalent of three full A levels. The Sports Baccalaureate is both a practical and academic qualification with assessment by way of a portfolio, assignment and presentation rather than through examinations. Pupils should ideally have 5 GCSE passes at C grade or above, including English and Maths but those who do not quite meet this level may still be accepted. During the two years, pupils will cover topics such as: • Anatomy and Physiology • Fitness Training • Personal Skills Development in Outdoor Activities • Sporting Injuries • Careers in the Sport & Active Leisure Industry • Sports Nutrition • Applied Leadership & Instructing in Outdoor Activities
