This qualification is slightly smaller version of the Extended Diploma in Sport, and is equivalent to two A-Levels instead of three. This version of the qualification will allow students to retake their GCSEs in English and/or Maths if they have not yet achieved a grade 4 or above. Students will still study a wide range of sport subjects including subjects such as Anatomy and Physiology, Sports Coaching and Practical Sports Performance. The breadth of content in this qualification allows learners to widen their opportunities to progress to a number of different higher education courses and sport careers.
