Sport and Exercise Science - Vocational (equivalent to 2 A-Levels)

Course summary

BTEC offers students the opportunity to achieve A-Level equivalent qualifications that are work-related and vocational. The principle difference between A-Level and BTEC is the method of assessment. Assessment is done through a range of presentations, case studies, practical tasks, written assignments and external assessment. For each assessment, you will be graded a Pass, Merit or Distinction. Students continually know where they are and what they need to do to improve their grade. Much of the content is similar to the A-Level in PE.
