BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Sport and Exercise Science

We will invite you to a Meet the Tutor event where you will receive information, advice, and guidance about the course you have applied for. This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

You will provide a copy of your last school report and/or a reference from an employer or relevant professional to include attendance. This is to ensure we can support you to be able to achieve well on the course. Applicants with 85% or below attendance will have been deemed not to have met this criterion. All applicants are given an opportunity to discuss any evidence-based mitigating circumstances that may have affected the reference/school report.

For admission on to the Extended Certificate or Diploma pathway (2x A-level equivalent over two years) applicants will need to have achieved 4 x GCSE's at 4/C or above, or a Level 2 Certificate/Extended Certificate (or higher), at Merit or above, in a relevant subject.

You will also have gained either English and/or maths at GCSE 4/C or above, or L2 Functional skills.

A retake will be required in either English or Maths alongside the Level 3 Extended Certificate in Sport and Exercise Science.

We are firmly committed to finding the right course for you to ensure you can flourish. Talk to us today if you have any concerns about the application process, we are here to help take you to the next level.
