Entry Requirements

Grade C GCSE Sports Studies or

Cambridge National level 2 merit or above.

The BTEC Level 3 course is a natural pro-

gression for any student who wishes to ex-

pand their knowledge on the human body,

how it works effectively in sport and how

sport is organised around the world.

Level 3 BTEC Sport

The BTEC course offers a specialist

qualification that focuses on particular

aspects of the sporting sector. As from

September 2016 the BTEC course is

changing slightly and will then be 67%

externally assessed.

Assessment

Within year 12, students will complete

two internally assessed units. Then in

year 13 students will complete a further

two units which will be externally as-

sessed. One unit is an exam and the

other unit is a case study marked exter-

nally. By completing these four units

over two years, students gain a qualifi-

cation equivalent to an A Level.
