Outline of Subject
The level 2 BTEC Tech Award in Sport is a vocational course consisting of coursework and an external assessment (exam). Assessment on this course will provide students with an overall grade of either a Pass Merit, Distinction or Distinction*. The three components are delivered through both practical and theory lessons and are assessed through a wide range of tasks that are personalised to the individual learner. This course is for those students who have a real passion for sport and physical activity. Students need to have an ability in sport and be committed to the subject for the duration of the course. Students on this course are expected to be well prepared, organised and engaged with all the course content in order to achieve a positive grade.
