Key information
The BTEC is coursework based with no exams. This work can range from Presentations, practical testing, essays, leaflets etc. This is a vocational course, where we strive to make lessons as practical as possible to help consolidate learning.
The course consists of 7 Units over two years. These are;
Year 1
Unit 1 – Physiology of Fitness
Unit 2 – Anatomy and Physiology
Unit 3 – Risk Assessment
Year 2
Unit 5 – Sports Coaching
Unit 7 – Fitness Testing
Unit 14 – Exercise, Health and Lifestyle
Both years
Unit 8 / 9 – Practical Team / Individual Sports
In the first year of study you will do two units based on the Human body and how it reacts to sport. Watch this video and complete the following questions...
