BTEC Sport at Level 3 offers learners the knowledge and experience of all aspects involved in Sport today. There are units that focus more on the practical side of sport such as Practical Sports Performance and units that are purely theory such as Anatomy and Physiology. Overall, the course offers a good mix of practical, and theory work as well as a range of physical, coursework, or exam-based assessment. The course also gives learners the chance to experience officiating, coaching, and managing in different sports building on people skills such as communication, listening, and speaking in front of groups of people.
5 GCSEs in grades 4-9 including English. It is not necessary to have studied a sport-related subject at level 2, although this would be advantageous. Students will spend a lot of time performing and leading in a variety of different sports and so must be physically committed to full engagement, including representing the school as a competitor and an official in a variety of sports.
Up to 18 sports-related units will be completed over two years. Some of which are mandatory and assessed internally. The other units are externally assessed. Two of the externally assessed units, fitness training or programming and sports development, will be case study-based. The anatomy and physiology unit will be assessed through a formal examination
