Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence
Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence
The BTEC qualification that you will do here at the Sussex College of Golf enables you to apply to be a part of the England Futures Programme which is coordinated by the EGU and EWGA.
The ‘England Futures’ programme is a brand new initiative launched jointly between the English Golf Union and English Women’s Golf Association and is aimed at providing targeted support to England’s most talented young golfers during perhaps the most critical phase of development – when they need to manage their academic work with the development of their sport skills.
Therefore, in addition to the BTEC National Certificate in Sport and NVQ in Teaching, Coaching and Instructing Sport that you will study here, you can do an additional NVQ in Sports Performance and Excellence which would be delivered by EGU/EWGA Regional Coaches working in partnership with your coaches here at the academy.
The new England Futures programme utilises funding that is linked to the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE) programme, a government funded initiative developed by ‘Skills Active’, the skills sector council for sport. The programme is endorsed and supported by ’The England Golf Partnership’, a partnership made up of all the major governing bodies in English Golf including The PGA, The English Golf Union , The English Women’s Golf Association and the Golf Foundation.
