A-level Physical Education₇₅₈₂

1.1 Why choose AQA for A-level Physical Education

Our A-level Physical Education qualification allows students to play to their strengths and gain dynamic theoretical and practical skills for further education or work. We’ve worked with teachers, higher education, the Youth Sport Trust and other subject experts to design our specifications. You’ll be familiar with most of the content, yet you’ll see we’ve refreshed a number of topics to reflect contemporary changes.
