Course Summary
Course Information for Students
Who is this course for?
This Diploma in Sports Performance (Health and Wellbeing) targets students who are interested in broadening their knowledge about the body, lifestyle, nutrition, promoting healthy lifestyles and delivering activities to help accomplish this.
This is a one-year course and it will be suitable for candidates requiring one or both GCSE resits in English and Maths.
It is an ideal choice for students wanting to progress into roles such as Sports Massage Therapist or Community Health Activator.
Entry Requirements
Minimum entry requirements for this course include an expectation that the majority of your GCSEs are at grade 3 or better. There is the opportunity to resit either English or Maths should your GCSE profile support this.
There is a requirement for communication (discussing, presenting, reading and writing) and learners should have basic skills in communication pitched at Level 2.
Students should be motivated to undertake physical activity and are encouraged to participate in sports teams and AoC competitions.
What will you learn?
The main qualification is made up of six mandatory units:
- Nutrition
- Psychology and Behaviour Change
- Lifestyle Behaviours for Health and Wellbeing
- Mobility and Functional Strength
- Health Assessment
- Massage Therapy
Your study programme will also include tutorial, enrichment, work experience totalling 54 hours, maths or English and a selection of additional qualifications such as: Sports Leaders Award, First Aid, Safeguarding, Award in Fitness and Physical Activity, and Assisting Health Related Activity Sessions.
You will be expected to maintain an attendance of over 95% throughout the year.
How will you learn?
This course will be delivered on-site at Broomfield Hall.
What will you need to bring with you?
There are no additional costs but students are expected to wear black tops (t-shirts, jumpers, hoodies etc) when in class and when representing the sports department during coaching sessions. Students are free to wear what they choose on their lower half, providing it is suitable for the activity being undertaken.
There are DCG-branded options to purchase should students wish to do so. However, this is not mandatory: we merely expect compliance with our colour code.
If you also join one of our sports academies, you may be required to purchase an academy-specific uniform which is an additional cost set by that academy.
How will you be assessed?
There will be ongoing assessment throughout the year. Each unit will be assessed through different means and will include worksheets, presentations, case studies, practical delivery and observations.
Your time keeping and organisational skills will need to be strong in order to meet assessment deadlines throughout the year. Your personality and ability to motivate and engage will be a strong focus to prepare for employment in this sector.
Your GCSE English or Maths resit will be assessed through a series of examinations at the end of the year.
