Please note that there is often a delay in messages being available for collection.ExpectationsYou are expected to attend every session on the timetable. Each course has a Study Period which is available for you to work on assignments in the Centre. The Learning Resources Centre is open every day, so you can come in and use the computers or research in the library. Registers are taken at the beginning of each class. They are scanned by a computer and an attendance record for each student is generated. Personal Tutors will be alerted on a regular basis to any problems regarding attendance and punctuality. Problems of attendance and/or punctuality are dealt with through the Colleges disciplinary procedures.If you are entitled to receive the Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) you are required to attend EVERY CLASS ON TIME each week to receive payment. You are responsible for your own attendance; tutors are not able to alter register. It is best remember that if you are not there, you won’t be paid EMA. Informing the College of your absence will not result in payment – you will only be paid if you are HERE.Appointments should be avoided during College time. Dental, Optician and GP appointments can always be arranged for late afternoons, evenings and weekends. If you miss classes due to one of these appointments it will be counted as an Explained Absence (but this is not an authorised absence for EMA purposes). Hospital appointments and interviews with legal representatives are considered as Authorised Absences for EMA purposes, but only if a copy of the appointment card or letter is given to your Personal Tutor and scanned into the register system prior to your intended absence. Please check with your Personal Tutor if you are unsure about any of this.Why is your punctuality and attendance so important?????If you are not in class, you are not learning. You are instantly putting yourself at a disadvantage to other students.??You are preparing yourself for the world of work. No employer is going to accept poor levels of attendance or punctuality - we are preparing you for the world of work.??If you arrive late to class you are disturbing the learning of others.??If you are absent you may find it difficult to understand the work in future lessons as you will be without the foundations which had been covered in the class for which you were absent.Your work will be assessed according to the standards required by the examination bodies, we cannot take absence into account – if it doesn’t meet the standard, it doesn’t achieve the grade.Aims and Objectives?This course aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the Sports industry and the career within it. A strong interest in sport, sport science and the business of the sports industry is essential and will determine success on the course.?BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport (Development, Coaching and Fitness) will provide a route into Higher Education and in a variety of specialisms. It can also lead to careers relating to Sports Coaching, Sports Massage Therapy, Fitness Instructor, Nutritionist and Physiotherapy. It will also give you a good foundation in understanding many of the contemporary issues that relate to sport in the world.?Areas studied will include Practical Sports (Team & individual), Anatomy & Physiology, Fitness training & Assessment, Sports Coaching, Sports Nutrition. Units are assessed by a variety of methods these include research, written assignments or practical tasks supported by written reports.?Course Structure?Principles of Anatomy & Physiology in SportThe Physiology of FitnessAssessing Risk in SportFitness Training & ProgrammingSports CoachingSports DevelopmentFitness Testing for Sport & ExercisePractical Team SportsPractical Individual Sports 10 Sports Nutrition 10 3Exercise, Health and LifestyleInstructing Physical Activity & ExerciseExercise for Specific Groups 3Psychology for Sports PerformanceSports InjuriesAnalysis of Sports PerformanceSport and Exercise MassageWork Experience in Sport0 4The course is made up of 18 units looking at a wide range of aspects of the sports and fitness industry. It is a practical, work related course where you learn to complete projects and assignments based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. As well as learning about the employment area you have chosen, you will develop the skills you need to start a career in the Industry. The following units will be completed across the two years;The department works on a semester timetable. This means that the year is divided into two equal parts of 18 weeks each. At the end of the 18 weeks the timetable for the units being studied is complete and all coursework for those units must be submitted.?Your timetable will not change at the end of each term, but your units will unless timetabled across the whole year.?The advantage of working on a term basis is that you complete assignments sooner and begin to ‘bank’ achievement and know exactly how you are progressing at an early stage. It does, however, mean that you must be well organised with your work and ensure that you work to the deadlines given to you by your subject tutors.? Assessment Structure?The course is assessed in a number of different ways.?Your work is assessed by the subject tutor responsible for the unit. It will be assessed according to the requirements and guidelines set by Edexcel, the awarding body. Assessment is then checked by a second tutor to ensure that our standards are correct and consistent. At least once a year a sample of work is checked by the Lead internal verifier within the centre – the decisions of this person are final.?It is department policy to give you one opportunity to produce a final draft of work for assessment. This work should be produced in a style as if it is final; it is not a rough piece of work. Within two weeks you will receive this work back with feedback and you therefore should follow the guidance you are given to make improvements to your work. At this stage you will be given a deadline for final submission. Work will not be given back for any improvements after final submission, so you must make sure that it is accurate and of the highest quality you are capable of.?All units are graded at PASS, MERIT or DISTINCTION. A Pass is worth 70 points, a Merit is worth 80 and a Distinction gains 90 points. ?There are 18 units to this course. Below is a table identifying how many points you need to achieve for each overall grade.PointsGrade1260-1299PPP1300-1339 MPP1340-1379 MMP1380-1419 MMM1420-1459 DMM1460-1499 DDM1500-1529 DDD1530-1559 DDD*1560-1589 DD*D*1590 and above D*D*D*ExamplePoints range above pass gradeAchievement of merit merit merit qualification gradeA learner completing a 180-credit Edexcel BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma achieves the points required to gain a merit merit merit qualification grade.UnitGradePointsUnit 1Merit 80Unit 2Pass 70Unit 3Distinction90Unit 4Merit80Unit 5Pass70Unit 6Distinction90Unit 7Distinction90Unit 8Merit 80Unit 10Pass 70Unit 12Pass 70Unit 13Pass70Unit 15Pass70Unit 16Merit 80Unit 17Pass70Unit 19Distinction 90Unit 21Merit 80Unit 22Pass70Unit 24Distinction 90Qualification gradetotalsMerit Merit Merit1410Keep a record of how you are progressing this year.?UnitGradePointsAnatomy for Sport and Exercise 10P / M / D70 / 80 / 90Sport and Exercise PhysiologyP / M / D70 / 80 / 90Sport and Exercise PsychologyP / M / D70 / 80 / 90Fitness Training and ProgrammingP / M / D70 / 80 / 90Practical Individual Sports10P / M / D70 / 80 / 90Practical team Sports10P / M / D70 / 80 / 90Instructing Physical Activity and ExerciseP / M / D70 / 80 / 90Fitness Testing for Sport and ExerciseP / M / D70 / 80 / 90Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology3P / M / D70 / 80 / 90Progression?This is a TWO year course. To return to the centre next September you must meet the following requirements:???Achieve a pass grade or higher in all Year 1 assignments???Have a minimum of 90% attendance and punctuality throughout the yearHave a good reference from your Personal Tutor.?After the successful completion of this course you could follow one of three routes:?1.Employment – this could be in the sporting area or in any other vocational field as this is a recognised Level 3 qualification.?2.Training – you could begin an apprenticeship with an employer or training organisation which will lead to you gaining specific vocational qualifications such as NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications). 3.Higher Education – study at a University or a College of Higher Education. There are a range of courses and qualifications you could study for (not just a degree). More guidance and advice will be offered at appropriate times.?You should be thinking about progression from now onwards. It is essential that you plan ahead, don’t leave things until the last minute – places may have been filled if you leave it.?Health and SafetyAll students are required to strictly follow all College Health and Safety policies and procedures. You can read about these in your Student Diary or on the Centre’s Virtual Learning Environment.?Very often you will be given instructions by your subject teachers about safety issues within particular areas. You should pay particular attention to the location of fire escapes and fire escape routes which are signposted around the site.Students on certain courses or subjects will have certain specific health & safety rules and procedures to learn.?Health and Safety-Sports department?All participants must follow the below regulation??All students must be accompanied by a member of staff into the health suite and Sports hall.?All students must be dressed appropriately lose clothing, tracksuit, trainers etc.?No jeans or outdoor shoes.?No jewellery. This includes all body piercings including ear studs. It is recommended that you refrain from having any piercings done during the college year.?Inappropriate behaviour by participants will not be tolerated and will be asked to leave. ?Equipment must be used for the purpose it’s intended for.?No food or drink to be taken into the health suite or gym. ?No music to be played publicly. Ensure you carry headphones when using the health suite.Presentation of WorkPresentation of WorkWhere possible, you should aim to word process all of your assignments. Make sure that you save all of your work both on your hard drive and/or user area and onto a disk, don’t just rely on one means of storage. Lost work on a computer system is not a valid reason for an extension to a deadline.The work you submit for assessment should always be of the highest standard you are capable of. You are not however marked or graded on how ‘pretty’ it looks. The use of colour paper, irrelevant graphs, maps, photographs, etc. will not add to the quality of your assignment. If you include irrelevant material or focus on presentation rather than quality you will be wasting your time and could produce a piece of work of a standard much lower than you think it is worth.Please note the following points for presentation of work:??Use only A4 paper (unless you are informed differently)??Your name must be on each sheet of paper??There must be a title page / cover for each task.??Include a contents page??Sub-titles and headings should be used in your work to separate tasks and ideas??Give all diagrams, maps, graphs and tables a figure number and title??At the end of your assignment include a bibliography (a list of the sources of information you have used to complete the assignment)The whole assignment should be hole-punched and presented in one plastic wallet. Do not use individual plastic wallets or ring binders.?Time will be spent in classes in the coming weeks to show you how to present your assignments.At the end of each semester your completed assignments will be added to your Professional Portfolio which is stored within the department. We have to hold onto this until the end of the course in case it is called for by Edexcel. Your portfolio will be handed to you along with your certificate at the Centre’s annual Presentation Evening.Plagiarism is a term you may not be familiar with – it means copying. You will not gain any credit for copying from source material – books, magazines, websites, newspaper articles, etc. If you find a piece of source material very useful and feel that you wish to use it, you may, but it must be quoted and its source stated alongside the quote. You will be shown how to quote and reference work during tutorials and classes in the coming weeks.Cheating/Misconduct The work you submit for assessment must be your own and you are required to sign the box on the assessment front sheet to confirm that this is the case. If you use information word for word from an information source you must clearly show that you have done so by quoting a reference for the source in a bibliography. Where misconduct is suspected, an investigation will take place which, if upheld, can lead to disciplinary action and the non-awarding of qualifications. Please see the Centre’s Assessment and Internal Verification Policy on Fronter for more details. Student misconduct covers a range of offences including (but not only) the following:Plagiarism: taking someone else’s work, images or ideas and passing them off as your own: thereby not properly acknowledging the original source. This particularly relates to material downloaded from the Internet or copied from booksCopying the work of other students with or without their permission and knowingly, allowing another student to copy your own work.Collaborating with other students to produce work, which is then submitted individually (except where this is specifically required/allowed by the assessment criteria)Submitting work done by another student as your own AppealsIf you do not agree with the assessment of your work you may appeal as follows:Stage 1Speak to your unit teacher. If you are still unhappy then:Stage 2Speak to your tutor who should be able to help you. If you are still not satisfied:Stage 3Speak to the Programme Manager who will attempt to provide a solutionStage 4Consult the Internal Verifier for the unitStage 5If you are still not satisfied then use the formal appeals procedure as described in the Assessment and Internal Verification Policy (and summarised below)Formal appeals proceduresAsk the Internal Verifier, in writing, for a re-assessment. This must be done within 10 working days of receiving the original assessment result. The Assistant Principal (Teaching and Learning) and Internal Programme Verifier will try to resolve the situation through negotiation between the assessor and the candidate. If it is not possible to reach an agreement, the Assistant Principal and the Internal Verifier will set a date for the Internal Verification Appeals Panel to meet (comprising at least 3 members where at least one member is independent of the assessment decisions).The Internal Verification Appeals Panel will normally meet within 2 weeks of the receipt of the appeal by the Internal Programme Verifier, with re-assessment, if deemed necessary by the panel, taking place within 15 working days of the Appeals Panel meeting.d) The outcome of the appeal may be: Confirmation of original decision; A re-assessment by an independent assessor; An opportunity to resubmit for assessment within a revised agreed timescaleReading ListAs well as the course text books this is a list of additional sources of information you may find of use.?Books?LeQuesne S- Nutrition A Practical Approach (Thomson Learning, 2003)McArdle W et al – Sports and Excercise Nutrition ( Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005)?Collins M – Examining Sports Development (Routledge, 2006)?Honeybourne J – BTEC National Sport (Nelson Thornes, 2003)??Websites - British association of Sport and Exercise Science.?nutrition-org.uk - British Nutrition Foundation?.uk - Food Standards Agency - British Olympic Association.uk - Institute of Sport and Recreation Management - Sport England? ................
