BTEC Firsts are 'mode-free' and as such allow those already employed in the sport sector to study for the Certificate or Diploma on a part-time basis, using industry knowledge, gained in the workplace, and expertise to develop evidence for the assessment criteria. The Certificate is designed to give learners a basic grounding in understanding knowledge of the sector. Learners studying for a Diploma may choose to specialise in an area such as sports performance or exercise and fitness.
