Sport and Uniformed Services Level 1

The 'Sport Vocational Studies' course is designed for students who have an interest in Sport and Uniformed Services but also require development in English, Maths, and IT. Completion of this course can allow progression onto a Level 2 programme.

The course aims to give the student an introduction to Sport Science and the Uniformed Services and encourages development in English, Maths, and IT. The students will cover various topics such as assisting at a sports event, how the body works, and taking part in sport. Uniformed Services areas will include developing personal leadership, practical teamwork in the public services, and public service incidents.

Assessment is completed across the year in assignment work focusing on specific tasks relating to each unit. Grading is conducted on a pass or fail basis with all units needing to be completed to pass the course.

Students are expected to undertake independent learning outside of the classroom environment throughout the course to aid their academic development.

Following this course, you could progress onto a Level 2 programme in the appropriate vocational area. The skills learnt may also be suitable for progression to an NVQ Level 2 course or employment.
