Places still available for this year’s intake

The British Fencing Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence has been set up to provide fencers with opportunities to improve performance and develop as individuals in a cost effective way. We have worked with SkillsActive and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College to offer young fencers the chance of being part of and achieving the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE). The British Fencing programme is not physically based at the college, we run training at various venues around the country & include an international training camp.

Any 16-18 year old fencers who have completed their GCSE year and are ranked in the top 40 (for their age on any national ranking list) are eligible to apply for the British Fencing AASE programme.

There is a short video of the most recent training camp here and you find out more about the scheme including how to apply on this page.
