What the college says

The Level 3 Extended Certificate in Sport and Physical Activity at Westlands is not just about being able to play sport; it will provide you with the skills, knowledge and understanding to progress onto University level sport-related programmes such as Sport and Physical Education, Sport Science, Sports Coaching and Development or Sport and Leisure Management. Students will develop their subject knowledge of many aspects of the sporting world, covering every aspect of sport, health and fitness, as well as gain practical experience in coaching younger children and performing fitness tests and training methods.

What you need to get on

Students will not be directly assessed on their sporting ability.

Students will require a grade 5 in GCSE PE or a Merit in Level 2 BTEC Sport.
