These qualifications have been designed to help learners understand the skills and knowledge needed to work in the sport and active leisure sector.

Learners will be encouraged to participate in a wide range of sport and active leisure activities. Through participation they will be required to demonstrate their ability to prepare for the activity, teamwork, time management, and health and safety.

Including units such as Taking Part in Sport, Planning own Fitness Programme, and Job Opportunities in Sport and Active Leisure, learners of all ages will see that the qualification can lead to further study or career opportunities.

Centres are encouraged to arrange visits to sporting venues and sporting events to enable the learner to observe and participate.

These qualifications enable centres to deliver and integrate Functional Skills into a number of the units. There are also opportunities to cover aspects of Every Learner Matters, in particular ‘be healthy’, ‘enjoy and achieve’ and ‘be safe’.
