Pass:
The students take responsibility for preliminary planning (participate in information sessions, compile the practical training agreement and its objectives). The students behave in an appropriate manner and responsibly during their practical training period in line with professional ethical principles. They adapt to the working culture of the practical training place and after induction, are able to carry out duties assigned to them. The students work independently, are motivated and indicate that they wish to develop their expertise. They take others into consideration and can work flexibly in a group. The students apply skills and knowledge acquired from their studies and can justify what they do using theoretical knowledge. The students are able to plan, implement, and assess sports instruction sessions and packages. They are able to describe sports administration: the basic duty of the organisation, operational/business idea and structure. The students are able to evaluate their own work, identify their own level of competence realistically and have an interactive feedback discussion. The students report on how their practical training proceeds, stay in touch with the supervisor and return all required documents.
