About this course

Free Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Sport Course in Broadstairs. Classes run at St George's C of E Foundation School, full-time over two years.

The course covers sport theory and practical units. You'll learn how the body responds to exercise and develop coaching skills by working with younger pupils at the school and local primary schools. Units span anatomy and physiology, fitness training, and sports coaching.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Sport.

Who this course is for
