Training camps, matches, tournaments – and exams.
The athletes' coordinator and mentor are available every working day; the rules are publicly published.
Every lecture is recorded in Orbita; with athlete status you get an individual study plan, reduced compulsory attendance and substitute assignments instead of exercises.
Assessment outside the competition period, extraordinary sittings by individual arrangement, extended deadlines for submitting assignments.
During training camps abroad you study from home: live lectures online or recordings, assignments instead of exercises, an exam by video conference by arrangement.
We schedule the placement outside the competition period or you do it in your club/federation if the tasks match the module (marketing, event management, video).
