BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Sport
Subject Specific Minimum Entry Requirements: General Sixth Form Entry requirement. GCSE PE at grade 5 or higher would give students a distinct advantage.
The Pearson BTEC National Extended Certificate in Sport is an Applied General qualification for post-16 learners who want to continue their education through applied learning and who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment in the sport sector.
In addition to the sport sector specific content, the requirements of the qualification will mean that learners develop the transferable and higher order skills that are valued by higher education providers and employers. Study of sport particularly encourages the development of skills and behaviours such as teamwork, leadership, performance analysis, resilience, evaluation, analysis and synthesising concepts. These skills are developed through the variety of approaches to teaching and learning enabled by the specification.
Mandatory unit focus:
• Anatomy and Physiology
• Fitness Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Well-being
• Professional Development in the Sports Industry
And one of the following additional units:
• Sports Leadership
• Application of Fitness Testing
• Sports Social and Cultural Anthropology
• Practical Sports Performance
These units will require students to take part in both theory based and practical sessions on a regular basis as part of the assessment process.
