Assessment
The new BTEC Firsts in Sport contain 2 forms of assessment:
- Internal Assessment: Teacher-led assessment remains at the heart of the BTEC Level 2 Firsts
- External Assessment: Supporting teacher-led assessment: the right external assessment for Sport.
External Assessment: How it works
Building on the rigorous assessment standards expected of BTEC qualifications, the new BTEC Level 2 Firsts in Sport include externally assessed units in all 3 sizes, comprising 25% of total assessment for the Award (120 GLH) and Certificate (240 GLH), 16% for the Extended Certificate (360 GLH), and 12.5% for the Diploma (480 GLH).
