The Level 3 Vocational Sport course is a great opportunity to take part in work-related learning, giving pupils an edge and opening the door to higher education or employment in sport sectors. There are clear progression routes: such as BSc in Sport, Physical Education and Coaching Science. It also supports progression into direct entry level roles such as physical activity leader or fitness/leisure assistant. Through the course, pupils will gain transferable skills development such as communication, team working and leadership skills. Skills pupils will acquire through the course Include: • Cognitive and problem-solving skills: use critical thinking, approach non-routine problems applying expert and creative solutions, use systems and technology. • Intrapersonal skills: communicating, working collaboratively, negotiating and influencing, self-presentation. • Interpersonal skills: self-management, adaptability and resilience, self-monitoring and development. Knowledge and understanding: Vocational sport will look at a range of topical subjects within physical education and engage students with content that they can link to sport and well-being. With a key focus on Anatomy and Physiology, fitness training and programming and other topics such as coaching, leadership and psychology. Prior study of a PE course at level 2, regular involvement in sport or sports leadership is desirable and will help pupils when completing assessments to draw on their experiences and provide them with a starting point to develop their knowledge and application to the sporting context more effectively. Given the significant demands of the coursework the following skills are also required: • Self-motivation and being able to work independently. • Organisation and good timekeeping. • Ability to prioritise workload. • Confidence at written communication. • A willingness to present in front of others and engage in discussions. On completing the course we would like pupils to be able to have improved knowledge and understanding within Sport and also the following attributes: The ability to learn independently, to research actively and methodically, be able to give presentations and being active group members, all skills which should aid their future pathways.
