This is especially important for students who want to move on to higher education courses in sport, go into full time employment or undertake further training. Students who undertake the course will also be given free access to the mypeeexam.org learning platform and are expected to complete around three hours of self study per week using this platform. A Level Outline: Students will study areas in more detail and are expected to demonstrate higher order skills such as data analysis and interpretation. They are assessed in one sport or as a coach.
