We are proud to offer the NCFE Level 1/2 Certificate and Diploma in Sport, a nationally recognised qualification that provides students with a strong foundation in the sports sector. Awarded by NCFE, these qualifications are equivalent to GCSE-level study and are suitable for learners with a keen interest in sport, physical activity, fitness, coaching, and sports science. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling students to develop both academic understanding and essential employability skills.

Throughout the course, students study a broad and engaging curriculum that reflects the diverse nature of the sport and physical activity industry. Units may include topics such as participation in sport, developing fitness for sport and physical activity, sports leadership, sports psychology, injury prevention, healthy living, and the organisation of sports events. Learners have regular opportunities to apply their knowledge in practical settings, developing skills in teamwork, communication, leadership, and performance analysis.

Assessment is primarily coursework-based, allowing students to demonstrate their understanding through assignments, practical assessments, presentations, and project work. Some units may include externally assessed components set by NCFE to ensure national standards are met. Students are assessed against clear grading criteria at Level 1 (Pass) and Level 2 (Pass, Merit, Distinction, and Distinction*), supporting progression at an appropriate level and recognising achievement across a range of abilities.

Successful completion of the Level 1/2 Certificate or Diploma in Sport opens a wide range of progression pathways. Students may progress to Level 3 qualifications such as BTEC or A Level Sport, apprenticeships within the sport and leisure sector, or specialist programmes in coaching, fitness, or sports development. The qualification also supports progression into further education and training, providing a solid platform for future careers in areas such as sports coaching, physiotherapy, sports science, personal training, and physical education teaching.
