OSEP: Advanced Sport Management Course

The Advanced Sport Management Course is an initiative by the International Olympic Committee through Olympic Solidarity and the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC).

About the Advanced Sport Management Course
The course is delivered for the Oceania sport administrators who are members of the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC). ONOC, through its Oceania Sport Education Program (OSEP), has designed its own curriculum using the competency based framework but has maintained the Managing Olympic Sport Organisation (MOSO) book as the key reference tool and adapted other teaching materials to comply with OSEP learning standards.

It is a demanding one week training programme that requires dedicated individuals who have had a wide experience in sport management and are looking to gain a formal qualification or update their skills. It requires high level time management skills during the face to face sessions in 2014 and 2015!

Target Group
The course is designed for executive level volunteers (i.e. board members of national sport federations and national olympic committees) and senior paid staff in sport organisations in the Pacific region to expand their managerial skills while actively contributing to a learning community. Through their engagement in this competency based framework, participants will learn the skills to effectively manage their sport organisation and ultimately improve sport as a whole in their sport and country.

It is important that participants applying are at middle or senior management positions to actively and effectively contribute to discussions and competently complete the assessment tasks during each unit. More importantly, to be in a position to implement the skills gained from this training. Support by the sport organisation is essential so that the participant has regular access to a sport organisation to apply the course learnings and bring about appropriate changes.

Certification
After assessment of competency is completed, participants will obtain an International Olympic Committee/Olympic Solidarity Diploma in Management of Olympic Sport Organisation recognised by Oceania National Olympic Committees and its 17 member countries.

This certification provides you with relevant qualifications to become a national sport organisation (e.g. NOC, NF, Sport Council, Department of Sport) administrator, manager or events/competitions coordinator.

What does it cost?
OSEP will cover in country accommodation, workshop meals and airport transfers to hotel.
