“There are only two options regarding commitment; you’re either in or you’re out. There is no such thing as life in-between” Pat Riley Former NBA Coach. Why Choose Sport? BTEC Sport is the perfect stepping stone for those pupils who want to go into teaching, coaching or work in the private sector, such as being a fitness instructor. Pupils who are keen to expand their knowledge and understanding of Sport and how we apply this across practical and technical skills will thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of lesson content. The transferable skills that learners will develop throughout the course include; communication, teamwork, independence research and analysis, all of which are crucial in higher education and the workplace. Assessment is specifically designed to fit the purpose and objective of the qualification. It includes a range of assessment methods and styles suited to vocational qualification sectors. Pupils will be expected, for example, to design their own presentations in a range of formats, conduct research based analysis on data collected, research tasks to evaluate, produce concise and clear reports and demonstrate practical and technical skills. Assessments are both internally or externally conducted. Externally assessed units are either exam or set task. Internally assessed units are created and assessed by lesson teachers and are subject to external standards verification.

“BTEC Sport is harder than I thought it would be, but in a good way. We have to work hard to make sure we complete our work to the deadlines set. We have looked at Sport in many ways and this really keeps me interested, as I can see that what I am learning will help me in my future career.” Paige Young
