What Does the Course Involve?

The course is structured around 12 mandatory units, covering a wide range of topics related to physical education and broader school life. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the key principles, policies, and regulations that underpin Physical Education and School Sport, as well as explore effective teaching strategies, behaviour management techniques, and approaches to differentiation within a PE context.

Each unit includes practical elements and assessments, requiring learners to plan, deliver, and evaluate a series of PE lessons within their school setting. Additionally, learners will be tasked with planning, organising, and managing a sporting event that engages the wider community, while coordinating with key stakeholders involved in the event.

Learners can complete the course at a pace that fits their individual needs, typically within 10 to 18 months. The Venture team will work with you to ensure your learning is well integrated around your day-to-day responsibilities within a school setting.
