Overview

This one year course covers a wide range of sport-related topics and provides opportunities to gain additional qualifications in English and maths. It is ideal for those who want to deepen their understanding of sport and progress to higher-level courses.

You will be assessed through a variety of methods, including practical assessments - where you’ll apply newly acquired knowledge and skills - written assignments, and two externally assessed exams. This will equip you with the knowledge needed to pursue a career in sport.

Throughout the course, you will study key areas such as anatomy and physiology, fitness, practical sports, sports psychology, lifestyle and well-being, and performance analysis.

Study programmes - essential skills for employment

If you’re aged 16-18 (or 19-25 with an EHC Plan), we want to make sure you have the best possible chances of landing an awesome job once you finish college.

Therefore, if you do not have GCSE grade 4-9 in either English Language or Maths, you will study one or both of these courses alongside your full-time study programme. If you do have GCSE grade 4-9 in English Language and Maths then you will not be required to undertake these subjects. By doing so, you'll be building a stronger set of skills that will significantly boost your employability in the future.

Think of it as a chance to supercharge your knowledge and abilities. You'll be equipped with the tools necessary to tackle the world beyond college with confidence. Plus, we'll be right here to support you every step of the way.
