From September 2016 post-16 students will have the opportunity to pursue their interest in Sport by opting for our BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Sport. The course is a broad basis of study for the sport sector. This qualification is designed to support progression to higher education when taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or A Levels.
