There are two types of Apprenticeships available in the active leisure, learning and wellbeing sector in Wales:
- Apprenticeship in Active Leisure and Learning
This Apprenticeship provides apprentices with a mix of practical and technical skills to develop at work and progress to further education. It is available at three levels: foundation (level 2 QCF), apprenticeship (level 3 QCF) and higher (levels 4 and above QCF). The Apprenticeship framework and choice of competence qualification will depend on the individual's experience and job role. - Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE)
AASE provides a structured training and development route across a number of sports for talented young athletes (aged 16-19), who have a real chance of excelling in their sport; either by competing on the world stage or securing a professional contract.
