WHITSTABLE TOWN FC ACADEMY

Year 12 & 13 A-Levels in Sport & Psychology

 

Whilst training at the Whitstable Town FC Academy full-time, you can now study A-Level Psychology with the BTECH/NCFE Diploma in Sport.


We offer learners an excellent skill set that is practical and academic, leading to a more well-rounded future broadening their knowledge and while allowing them to keep their options open. The course is delivered by our education provider, SCL.

Most higher education education providers prefer that Level 3 vocational qualifications are combined with at least one A-Level to meet their UCAS point tariff.


This course carries sufficient UCAS points to gain direct access to university courses and/or other education programmes. The course appeals to a cross-section of students, regardless of whether they have studied the subject before.

During the qualification learners will cover:

Introductory Topics in Psychology:
