Pre-requisites
Prior to REGISTRATION you are required to:
- be 16 years of age of older
- hold a Level 2 Physical Education or sport-related qualification, for example the 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Learning in Physical Education and School Sport (QCF)
- hold GCSE in Physical Education (Grades A-C)
- be able to effectively communicate in English prior to registering for the qualification
Why Study?
The qualification is designed for if you already work, or aspire to work, in a physical education and school sport setting as it is specifically designed to provide you with a greater understanding of programmes of study for physical education, the national curriculum and the environment in which you will be operating.
The 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Supporting the Delivery of Physical Education and School Sport (QCF) prepares you for employment in a school sport setting through providing an introduction to opportunities for you to work as a physical education and school sport professional such as a children’s activity professional; sports development officer; sports coach; sports volunteer or leader.
The qualification can help you become a qualified Teaching Assistant (TA) or Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA). This is because four of the units within this qualification equal the Level 3 Award in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (QCF), which is a qualification that provides the underpinning knowledge and understanding for those working directly with children or young people in schools.
You can then use this prior knowledge to gain access to the Level 3 Certificate Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (QCF).
