Supervised Experience

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 for scientific support and/or research. SE does not lead automatically to BASES Accreditation but does allow the applicant to use the title “Probationary Sport and Exercise Scientist”. Each of the four sections of BASES has a list of the expected competencies of an Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist in their section. These competencies provide the framework for each applicant to identify his or her needs and provide the format for monitoring via a rating scale.
