Sports Studies

Assessment

The assessment approach for these BTEC qualifications allows students to receive feedback on their progress throughout the course as they provide evidence towards meeting the unit assessment and grading criteria. It is important that during the course students take on the role of being employed within the sport and active leisure industry when completing assignments. This is achieved firstly by setting assignments with a scenario which reflects tasks/projects that sports employees would be undertaking in the workplace. Evidence for assessment may be generated through a range of activities including workplace assessment, role play and presentations. The assessment on this course is also taken from a written exam which is externally assessed and a pre- released task which is again assessed externally.
