The Extended Certificate is equivalent to 1 A Level, consisting of the following units: Anatomy and Physiology, Sports Leadership, Fitness Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Well-being, and Professional Development in the Sports Industry. The wide nature of study engages students in new topics and highlights the quality of and range of future roles available in sport.

This qualification provides a foundation for many career opportunities, including sports coaching, military, emergency services, teaching, sports psychology, lecturing, the leisure industry, sports journalism, sport development, coaching, and business. It can also offer the opportunity to travel and teach sports in children’s camps such as Bunacamp and Camp America, or study at a university abroad.
