There are transition arrangements in place for those candidates who are already BASES SE accredited.

Sport Psychologist needed for TV broadcast interview (UK)
Posted on behalf of Samantha Crown:I work at a media broadcast specialist in the city (London), and we are doing a campaign for our client Camelot on 22nd May on the subject matter of Golden Sporting Moments. We have commissioned some research looking at sports at home, whether we have had a golden moment in sport and creating golden moments.
Currently, we have Ed Coode, Olympic Gold Medalist involved in this campaign, but are keen for a psychologist's perspective to discuss our desires and needs for sporting highlights.
We are doing a session of broadcast interviews in our studios between 8.30am and 2pm on 22nd May and wondered if this is something of interest.
Look forward to hearing back from you.
