Course summary

The Level 3 BTEC Sport combines with many advanced GCE subjects. It supports applications for a wide range of university courses like sports sciences, physiotherapy, recreational and leisure studies and there are many new and exciting courses related to sport throughout higher education.

This can include further training in such areas as recreational management, leisure activities, the Armed Forces and the Civil Service. This course will develop your theoretical knowledge of a range of topics and all of the lessons are theory based. The course will prepare you for a written test paper on anatomy and physiology, a controlled assessment on fitness testing and training and written assignment in sport psychology and professional development in the sports industry.
