Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE)
Academy athletes (aged 16 - 18) will also be eligible to gain a rowing specific Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE). The AASE programme has been designed to meet the diverse needs of young athletes and players who have the potential to achieve excellence in sport and are seeking to perform at the highest level as their main career goal.
AASE has been developed to have a major impact on the development of young athletes across a range of competitive sports. It contains a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), which is fully reflective of the broad range of competencies and skills required in professional sport. It is designed to directly measure the athlete’s ability to apply themselves to professional development in the technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of their chosen sport. It also directly addresses equally important wider issues such as lifestyle, communication and career management.

I am currently in my first year at Hartpury College, studying for 3 A Levels and I am also a member of the Rowing Academy. As part of this, I have been enrolled into the AASE programme. I have found AASE to be incredibly useful as it has helped me to understand both the physical and mental sides of my sport. When I entered the Academy I was new to rowing, and so studying for my AASE has helped me to further my knowledge of how the different types of training effect my body, and also why we do it. Since joining the college, the support I have received from AASE and the coaching that I have had, has increased my performance in sport dramatically. I am looking forward to continuing my portfolio and learning more about how to become an elite athlete.
