What the college says

Health, Fitness & Sport is very popular among young people and this is an excellent opportunity to study these areas. Students who have already studied PE at Key Stage 4 will find many of the ideas and concepts are expanded upon in the course. However, the study of the above courses is not an essential requirement, students without this background will be able to develop their skills without prior knowledge. This vocational course gives a great insight into the sporting ‘working’ world and its associated elements.

What you need to get on

A level 2 Merit or above in BTEC Sports Science or a grade 5 in GCSE P.E. If no previous experience, a grade 5 in Science/Additional Science and evidence of contribution to an individual or team sport.

How you are assessed

One subject in depth, assessed largely through coursework and projects.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
