Assessment
Units 1 and 2 are now externally assessed and examinations will be sat in the summer term at the same time as other national examinations. The other taught units are internally assessed and verified within the BTEC qualification and are subject to external moderation. Students will complete a series of assignments that are submitted in a variety of formats to their unit teacher for marking and feedback throughout their studies. Each unit within the qualification has specified assessment and grading criteria which are to be used for grading purposes. A summative unit grade can be awarded at Pass (E grade), Merit (C grade) or Distinction (A grade). Any single referred assignment will result in failure of the qualification.
The Future
The study of these qualifications can lead into a wide variety of career opportunities and higher education courses. All of the BTEC Sport qualifications that we offer prepare students to continue their studies at higher educational establishments. In addition, many of our students choose to transfer their acquired skills directly into the workplace in a variety of sports related careers. In respect of employment this qualification can lead to employment in Teaching, coaching, physiotherapy, sports journalism and sports analyst work.
