Further details relating to assessment
Coursework This assessment challenges students to consider one of a selection of case study scenarios to provide a research based and rigorously designed training plan relevant to the client and the sport. More specifically, the students consider the needs of the client and the sport, appropriate test and measurement and training recommendations.

BASRaT does not allow the condonement of any module as part of an accredited programme. To maintain a standardised experience and knowledge of a GSR, Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) is not permitted against BASRaT course modules, unless from an alternative accredited BASRaT course programme. Students must maintain an attendance level above 80% through the completion of their course to be eligible for graduate membership with BASRaT. BASRaT also recommends that the staff:student ratio does not exceed 1:16, and requires that this ratio does not exceed 1:20 in practical sessions.
