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. Year 12 Scheme of work: Anatomy, Physiology, Field and Lab based Fitness Testing, Biomechanics Year 13 Scheme of work: Sports Psychology, Coaching for Performance and Fitness, Specialised Fitness Training, Applied Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Science

Entry requirements

To access the Vocational Pathway you will have achieved 5 GCSES at grade 4, which needs to include either GCSE Maths or English (Literature or Language). Vocational courses at merit level can be included within the 5 grades required. Students choosing to study vocational courses can still study A-Level courses if they meet the entry requirements and indeed this is recommended for certain career pathways.
