This qualification is approved by DfE in the 2017, 2018 & 2019 Key Stage 4 Performance Tables.
We have redeveloped the level 1 and 2 qualifications in this subject area into a combined Level 1/2 qualification for the 2020 performance tables to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of our centres as well as meeting the new DfE guidance. The new qualification has been renamed NCFE Level 1/2 Technical Award in Health and Fitness. This new qualification is approved for 2020 performance tables and is now available for teaching.
This qualification is suitable for learners aged 14-16 studying their Key Stage 4 curriculum.
This qualification is designed for learners with an interest in any of the health and fitness contexts such as exercise, lifestyles and diet. Level 2 is appropriate for learners who are looking to develop a significant core of knowledge and understanding, and want to apply that knowledge in preparing, planning and developing a health and fitness programme.
