Training Course Content
All units in this qualification are mandatory, which provides a balance of breadth and depth,
ensuring that all learners develop the technical and practical skills required in the occupational area. Learners are then given the opportunity to develop a range of transferable skills and attributes expected by employers. It is expected that learners will apply their learning to relevant employment and sector contexts during delivery, and that they will have opportunities to engage meaningfully with employers.
This is achieved through learners performing practical, work-related tasks that encourage the development of appropriate work-related behaviours and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, planning and completing tasks to a high standard, all of which are valued in the workplace.
Continuing Studies
The qualification gives you a sound basis to progress to a Level 3 qualification, when studied in a full study programme, such as the BTEC Level 3 National in Sport and Coach Development, the BTEC Level 3 National in Sport and Fitness.
