BASES Supervised Experience (SE) aims to provide sport and exercise scientists with the guidance, environment and opportunities that will facilitate the development of the competencies expected for BASES accreditation as a sport and exercise scientist.  For a young practitioner SE is a key stepping stone to a career as a sport and exercise scientist. For the successful completion of SE, and hence accreditation, the supervisee will be required to attain the required level of competency in the BASES standards of proficiency for sport and exercise scientists. Individuals registered for SE shall be entitled to use the name ‘Probationary Sport and Exercise Scientist’ until accredited or for a maximum period of six years.

Information for Supervisees on the Pre-December 2009 Route

For those applicants who are on the current Supervised Experience process and who are intending to stay on the process to completion, please refer to the information below as guidance towards accreditation.

By staying on the existing route, there will be no change for you during Supervised Experience.

Annual reports should be submitted in the usual way to Jane Bairstow.  You should continue to work towards the original competencies set out for your discipline.

The main change comes into effect when applying for Accreditation.

To apply for Accreditation, you should refer to the Non-Supervised Experience Route diagram within the Accreditation Guidelines. This will guide you to the documents required for your Accreditation application.  You will be required to demonstrate how you meet the new generic competencies which can be translated from the competencies you have been working towards.

You should provide evidence of your undergraduate and postgraduate degrees but at this stage they do not have to be BASES endorsed.

You are not required to have completed a specific number of hours practice.
