Want to turn your passion for sport into an exciting career? On this course we’ll help you to increase your depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills related to the scientific, sociocultural and practical aspects of physical education. The sport industry is a stimulating sector where you can progress and specialise in a range of exciting areas. Sport provides a great platform to get out and support the local community whether you are teaching sports skills to beginners or right up to professional sportspersons. Teaching in Physical Education is also a hugely rewarding job that requires a good knowledge of a range of sports and coaching theories and philosophies. The aim of this course is to develop your theoretical and practical knowledge of Sport through working towards a Level 3 nationally recognised qualification. You will cover a minimum of 14 units including, Anatomy and Physiology, Fitness Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Wellbeing, Professional Development in the Sports Industry, Sports Psychology and Sports Performance Analysis. You will learn through a well-balanced range of studies which combine practical skills with theoretical knowledge with lessons taking place in both a classroom environment and also indoor and outdoor sports facilities, overseen by specialist sports lecturers. In order for you to get the most out of your time on the course, it is recommended that you complete as much volunteering and relevant work experience as possible to give you an insight into working in the sports industry. Career progression upon completion could lead you towards a number of exciting Physical Education related fields including Physiotherapy, Primary or Secondary Teaching, Sports Physiology and Sports Psychology. As part of your study programme you also get the opportunity to complete a maths and/or English GCSE if you have not already achieved a grade 4 or above.
You will need a minimum of four or more high grades at GCSE in subjects relevant to the course you’d like to study, including maths and/or English Language at grade 4 or above. Alternatively, you’ll need a Level 2 Diploma with overall Merit in a relevant subject and Maths and English at appropriate levels.
The course is accredited by BTEC and each unit is graded Pass, Merit and Distinction. Students will complete a minimum of 14 units over two years of full time study and build a portfolio of assessments. A period of work placement is included during which time students will use and develop skills acquired on the course. Assessments throughout the programme can vary from written assignments, presentations, role plays, in-class tests, developing blogs and other relevant methods as directed by Edexcel RQF guidance. Assessment is predominantly through coursework, with some externally assessed content via exams.
