Diploma content overview
The Diploma will be taught at three levels; foundation, higher and advanced.
Each level will incorporate principal learning based on developing the skills and knowledge of the sport and active leisure industry, generic learning based on English, Maths and ICT, and additional and specialist learning to focus study on a particular topic within the industry in more depth. The Diploma also incorporates a minimum of 10 days’ experience of work, wherein students have the opportunity to gain work-relevant skills.
The generic learning based around functional skills of English, Maths and ICT are a vital part of the personal development of all learners. Functional skills will be highly valued by both employers and higher education providers for their impact on productivity, independence and achievement.
Functional skills assessment requires learners to show that they can use skills confidently in a range of different situations (depending on the qualification level). Learners are expected to apply their skills in practical tasks and scenarios and to show that they can use problem-solving techniques effectively.
Functional skills are not graded: learners are awarded a pass or fail at one of five levels
(Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, level 1 or level 2).
