At the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), we take coaching education seriously, and we’re honored that hundreds of colleges and universities use our texts and resources to train tomorrow’s coaches and in turn positively affect the young athletes they coach.
ASEP’s Bronze Level is the most comprehensive coaching education program and credential available. It is used in whole or in part by 40 state high school athletic associations to accredit coaches and is quickly being adopted by school districts and other sport organizations as their preferred coaching education program. Your students will hit the field running in their coaching careers when you adopt the entire Bronze Level curriculum.
Coaches achieve ASEP Bronze Level certification by completing Coaching Principles, Sport First Aid, Coaching Technical and Tactical Skills, and soon-to-be-released CPR/AED for Coaches courses (CPR/AED for Coaches is the preferred course; however, CPR certifications from other providers will be accepted).
ASEP’s Program Services team is devoted to the timely processing of tests and focused on providing you with the course materials you need when you need them. If you choose to offer Coaching Principles or Sport First Aid as a classroom course, your students have the option of taking the course test on paper or online. Paper tests (submitted on scan forms) are processed by ASEP within 24 to 48 hours of receipt. Online tests are scored electronically; students receive immediate feedback on test results. Regardless of delivery method, all coaches who pass are automatically entered in the National Coaches Registry (NCR), found at National Coaches Registry.
Student coaches who take ASEP courses are entered in this online registry unless they elect to opt out. Each coach’s record contains information on courses taken, test scores, course completion dates, and certifications earned. Students have access to their personal NCR entries and can print and e-mail their course transcripts directly from this area of the site.
As an instructor, you have access to your students’ records through the NCR. With just a few clicks, you can pull up a roster of students and quickly see who has taken and passed your courses and when. The NCR automates your record keeping for you.
With the adoption of ASEP’s online courses, you’ll have a customized portal page on the ASEP site that will direct your students on how to purchase and take the courses. You can use this page to communicate course or unit deadlines to students, provide general contact information, or address questions your students may have.
Having worked with national sport organizations, national governing bodies of Olympic sport, high school associations, individual school districts, and colleges and universities across the country, we realize that no two organizations are exactly alike. You can rely on the experience of our sales-implementation managers to help you implement our courses into your curriculum.
