Over the last academic year we have received an increasing number of requests, from teachers, for additional activities to be considered for assessment for Cambridge Technicals in Sport and Physical Activity (2016 suite). In order to continue to make sure the sporting qualifications we offer are accurately and rigorously assessed, and as it is not possible to offer everything, we are introducing an approved list of activities. This list has been brought in line with the list of activities approved within the Cambridge National in Sport Studies – no other activities are permitted. This will be for students starting qualifications in September 2019.

The list is available on the Planning and Teaching page for both Level 2 and Level 3 of the qualification. It applies to the following units:

• Level 2, Unit 7: Practical Sport – Rounders and martial arts are no longer permitted activities.
• Level 3, Unit 18: Individual Sport, Team Sport and Officiating – Rounders and martial arts are no longer permitted activities.
• Level 3 , Unit 18: Outdoor and Adventurous Activities – Parkour is no longer a permitted activity. All of these activities must take place outdoors. Indoor derivatives are not permitted, e.g. Indoor rock climbing, indoor skiing, etc.

If you have any queries about this update, please call the Customer Support Centre on 02476 851509.
