The BTEC Sport course at Arthur Terry School allows students the opportunity to study some of the key theoretical concepts of Sport at post-16 level. Here at Arthur Terry we offer the BTEC National Extended Certificate in Sport, an Applied General qualification for post-16 learners who want to continue their education through applied learning and who aim to progress to higher education and ultimately to employment in the sport sector. The qualification is equivalent in size to one A Level and is delivered over a two-year period alongside other A Levels and BTEC qualifications. Students will receive a Distinction, Merit or Pass which carries an equivalence in UCAS points to traditional A Level subjects.
