About this course

Free BTEC Level 1 Sport Course in Enfield. Classes run at Capital City College Enfield Campus, full-time during the day.

The course runs over 36 weeks and covers practical sports skills, the sports industry, teamwork, communication, and sport and active leisure. You'll take part in hands-on activities and build skills you can use in further study or work. Assessment is entirely coursework-based, with no final exams. You'll also study Maths and English alongside the course.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC Introductory Diploma in Sport at Level 1.

Who this course is for

Are you looking to take your first steps into the sports industry?

Our BTEC Level 1 Introductory qualifications in Sport are designed to help you develop the essential practical skills, attributes, and confidence needed for future study and your eventual career. These qualifications focus on "doing" rather than just theory. You will engage in practical, active tasks that allow you to demonstrate what you can achieve.

Whether you are looking for a short introduction to the sector or a more comprehensive study programme, these courses are designed to help you progress to higher-level learning, such as BTEC Level 2 qualifications, apprenticeships, or other study programmes.

Entry requirements

To join this course, we generally look for four GCSEs at grade 2 or above (including English and maths), or an equivalent Entry Level qualification.If your current grades are below this level, please don't be discouraged. We encourage you to apply and get in touch - we would be happy to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for the programme with one of our tutors.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop practical sports skills through active, hands-on sessions.
  • You'll explore how the sports industry works and the opportunities within it.
  • You'll build teamwork and communication skills through group activities.
  • You'll gain an understanding of sport and active leisure activities.
  • You'll develop personal skills to support your progression to further study.

How you will learn

The course is classroom and activity-based, with a strong practical focus. All assessment is internal, meaning your grade comes from work completed throughout the course rather than final exams. Assessment methods include coursework, practical tasks, and skills-based activities that let you demonstrate what you can do.

What you will need to bring

You'll need to provide your own suitable sports clothing and footwear, as the course involves a significant amount of practical activity. There are no additional costs for textbooks or online subscriptions. Capital City College Enfield Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.
