BTEC National Diploma - Three-year course
This course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge, understanding and practical skills required for success in current and future employment in the sport and recreation industries.
However, this BTEC National Diploma has been developed for those students who have been recognised as gifted and talented in the field of sport. The course encompasses all the units that the normal BTEC National Diploma contains, but tackles only six units a year, and therefore will be completed in three years instead of the usual two years. This enables those who are involved in high level training, national training squads or development programmes to complete their studies with time to achieve high grades.
The course provides students with the opportunity to choose which pathway would best reflect their career aspirations or Higher Education progression.
Units to include: The Body in Action; Sports Coaching; Fitness Testing for Sport and Exercise; Working with Children in Sport; Instructing Physical Activity and Exercise; Training and Fitness for Sport; Sports Nutrition; Sport and Exercise Massage and Sport and Society.
Career and Further Studies
This course is intended for those who are in, or plan to enter employment in the sport and recreation industries, or who wish to progress to courses in sport coaching/sport science-related Higher Education courses. Students can also progress directly on to the degree offered at SEEVIC College in Coaching Science.
General Entry Requirements
At least four GCSEs at grade C or above or a BTEC First Diploma (or equivalent) in a related area at Merit level.
