V Certs – Health and Fitness
Health and Fitness
Our Level 1/2 Technical Award in Health and Fitness provides core knowledge to pupils who are passionate about fitness and performance – from the structure and function of body systems and the effects of health and fitness activities on the body, through to the principles of training and how to structure a health and fitness programme.
This qualification is approved for KS4 Performance Tables in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
V Cert Technical Awards are designed to be delivered over two years. The first year of delivery is entirely dedicated to teaching and learning, with all summative assessments taking place in the final year of study. The Health and Fitness V Cert Technical Award is assessed by Non-Exam Assessment (60%) and Examined Assessment (40%).
