The structure of the BTEC Level 2 course is the perfect balance between classroom-based learning and practical activities.

We’re proud to be able to offer our students a relaxed atmosphere to learn and the opportunity to transfer what they’ve learned in the classroom through structured, practical training sessions.

Students work towards achieving a BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Sport, equivalent to four GCSEs. We offer unique progression opportunities for learners aspiring to study an NCFE Level 3 qualification with us, while equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed for future employment or apprenticeships.

Students will gain the knowledge required for a substantial understanding of the principles of sport. Lesson modules include anatomy, physiology, sports psychology, sports coaching, and sports research.

We also offer our students a range of extracurricular opportunities, including volunteering with Cardiff City FC and the chance to earn an FAW Level 1 coaching qualification. Our goal is to provide education and employment pathways for young people, supporting their ambitions to progress into further education or work.

One of the most unique aspects of our further education provision is that our student's time is split between theory and practical learning.

Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided football game, the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure and is subsequently an excellent breeding ground for football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a side format of the game.

We boast 3 modern Futsal courts where our students represent the Bluebirds in the Association of Colleges Futsal League and the FAW Futsal League. Female students are also able to represent Cardiff & Vale College through their Girls Football Academy.
