The study of sport and physical activity considers the barriers to - and the effects and benefits of- sport and physical activity across age ranges and social groups, including people with disabilities and BAME, so they can tailor their approach depending on the person, people, or situation they’re working with. Students who study sport and physical activity also learn how to work in a safe and effective way, protecting themselves and those they’re working with from injury or harm. The qualifications aim to develop students’ knowledge, understanding and skills of the principles of Sport and Physical Activity. You will gain insight into the sector as you investigate opportunities for delivering sport and physical activity to a wide range of participants, whether it is to mobilise sedentary people to improve their health and wellbeing or to support regular participants to improve their performance and fitness, all done in a safe and professional environment. In doing so, you will also gain core skills required for employment or further study in the sector such as communication, analysis, organisation, and adaptation. Designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector, the Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Sport and Physical Activity focus on the requirements that today’s universities and employers demand.
5 GCSEs at grades 9-4 including English and Maths and Biology. Whilst the prior study of GCSE/Level 2 Sport is beneficial, it is not essential. For students wishing to study the diploma, GCSE/Cambridge National in Sport qualifications will be required grade 5/ L2 Merit or above.
The Extended Certificate in Sport & Physical Activity course is assessed by sitting two externally assessed exams in units 1 and 3 and on producing written coursework and demonstrating your practical ability in different roles such as a coach, participant and official.
