Sport
In our Sport BTEC course, students will explore the different types and providers of sport and physical activity, as well as the equipment and technology available. Building on this, they will look at individuals’ differing needs, to gain an understanding of how to increase participation in sport while further developing their knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology in a contextualised way.
They will then apply their knowledge and skills to planning and delivering sports activity sessions for participants in practical sessions. The qualification enables learners to develop sector-specific skills such as sport analysis and sports leadership, and also personal skills such as communication, planning, time management and teamwork which are all required for a successful career in the sports industry
