The specification offers students the opportunity to experience and develop an interest in a variety of roles in sport such as performer and coach. The content of the course will address current contemporary topics such as the impact of the use of ergogenic aids and technology and the increased commercialisation of sport. The specification also covers a variety of topics within the broad categories of sport psychology, physiology and biomechanics. Prior experience of coaching would offer a distinct advantage to students, as would an ability to play at least one sport to a high standard.
In addition to the minimum entry requirements for Level 3 academic study, students are required to have a Grade 6 in GCSE PE or a Merit in CNAT Sport. Please note that due to the high theory weighting at A Level, it is strongly recommended that students have achieved at least a Grade 6 in the theory element of their GCSE and are not over-reliant on their strong practical skills supporting their overall Grade 6.
Students will sit two written exams and will also be assessed as a performer or coach in a practical activity.
