All qualifications in the suite share some common units and assessments, allowing learners some flexibility in moving between sizes. BTEC Nationals have always required applied learningthis means you will be assessed as you go through the course.

The National Foundation Diploma is designed to cover the underpinning knowledge for the sport sector and support progression to an apprenticeship in the sport sector or to a further year of study at Level 3. It supports progression to higher education if taken as part of a programme of study that includes other BTEC Nationals or A Levels. It is equivalent in size to 1.5 A Levels.
