How is the course organised?
The Level 2 Qualification in Community Sports Leadership consists of four units of work which all need to be completed:
1. Developing leadership skills
2. Plan, lead and evaluate sport/activity sessions
3. Assist in planning and leading a sports/physical activity event
4. Lead sport/physical activity sessions in the community
The qualification time will take approximately 50 guided learning and directed study hours.
Assessment
Sports Leaders are assessed in each of the four units, on attendance and are assessed by an internal moderator at the sports festivals and Bucks School Games.
In order for students to achieve the Qualification they must complete 10 hours demonstration of leadership within the community, which makes up part of Unit 4. The 10 hours demonstration happens at the end of the course.
