Course Summary

This course introduces learners to the sport and active leisure sector, helping them understand different organisations, job roles, skills, qualifications, and progression routes into employment or further study. It also includes practical sport-related units such as taking part in sport, coaching, leading others, fitness, volunteering, and supporting events

Course Requirements

Entry Requirements

2 GCSEs at grade E-G (new grades 1-2) or relevant Entry Level qualification

How Is It Assessed

Assessment is mainly through a portfolio of evidence. Depending on the unit, evidence may include worksheets, information leaflets, career guides, reports, personal development plans, observation records, witness testimony, or discussion notes. Some practical units require direct observation of skills, while knowledge-based units are assessed internally through portfolio work

How Is It Taught

The course is taught through a mix of teaching, tutoring, and guided independent work, with learners completing worksheets, workbooks, leaflets, reports, plans, and other evidence-based tasks. Some units also include practical learning, where learners may take part in sport, help with events, or show skills through direct observation and witness testimony.

What Could I do Next

After this course, learners could progress to higher-level sport qualifications, further training, volunteering, or entry-level roles in sport and active leisure. They may also move into related pathways such as coaching, fitness, event support, leadership, or outdoor industry roles depending on the units studied

What Else Do I Need To Know

It’s a practical, introductory sport course that helps learners build skills, confidence, and awareness of future pathways. It is assessed through portfolio work rather than exams, so expect a mix of classroom tasks, practical activities, and teacher-guided evidence collection. It is a good option for learners who enjoy hands-on learning and may want to progress into more sport-related study or training later on.
