A key requirement is a real enthusiasm for sport and exercise and fitness in both the theoretical and practical aspects. This course has been designed as a perfect vocational at alternative to A-Level Physical Education and is equivalent to one A-Level. There are three mandatory units which include: Body Systems and the Effects of Physical Activity (90 GLH) externally assessed by 1 examination Sports Coaching and Activity Leadership (90 GLH) internally assessment through coursework Sports Organisation and Development (60 GLH) externally assessed by 1 examination Students will choose three additional units from a pool of nine which are all internally assessed as coursework or practical assessments. These include: Performance Analysis in Sport Exercise Organisation of Sports Events Biomechanics and Movement Analysis Physical Activity for Specific Groups Nutrition and Diet for Sport and Exercise Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Practical Skills in Sport and Physical Activity Sport and Exercise Sociology Why choose a Cambridge Technical? You may prefer project and research activities, so being assessed by coursework could help you attain a higher grade. A Levels now have a high proportion of exams taken in June of the final year. This may not suit your style of learning. Cambridge Technicals provide two opportunities to take the external assessment, one in January and one in June – these can be taken at any time during the two year course. So if you would accomplish more if their exams were split across two years and you’d have the opportunity to re-sit if you needed to, then Cambridge Technicals could be a better option. The content of the course is exciting, engaging, practical and fun helping you to find your next steps in education or work.
