Course Details
The course takes two years to complete, with the AASE framework providing a structured national training and development route.
The framework contains a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) which is fully reflective of the broad range of competences required to be successful in the AASE, such as the technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of rugby.
It also addresses wider issues of being a professional player such as lifestyle, communication, wider career management, and health and safety.
The AASE programme is designed to give Rugby Apprentices the best chance of developing and maintaining a career as a professional rugby player.
The ‘Manage your own Career’ Unit (ES6 of the NVQ) covers the skills and processes needed to plan and manage a career in rugby, it also helps players to identify and plan an alternative career path.
Examples of alternative employment opportunities include coaching, sport development, exercise and fitness, operational management of sports facilities and sports leadership.
