The Sport KV (Federal VET Diploma) apprenticeship combines basic commercial training with the opportunity to combine competitive sport and training in the best possible way.

Athletes acquire the Federal VET Diploma in Business Administration and at the same time benefit from a training model that takes training, competition and regeneration times into account. The Sport KV is aimed at performance-oriented athletes who would like to complete a recognized commercial apprenticeship alongside their sporting career.

The Sport KV - a rewarding basic training with Federal VET Diploma for athletes

The Sport KV (Federal VET Diploma) is aimed at young competitive athletes who want to combine their sporting career with sound commercial training.

In contrast to traditional training paths, Sport-KV models take into account the special requirements of competitive sport. Training camps, competitions and intensive training phases are taken into account as far as possible when planning training. This means that sport and training can be pursued in parallel.

During their training, apprentices acquire the same commercial skills as in other commercial apprenticeships and graduate with the Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (VET Diploma).

The typical training content includes

  • Commercial processes
  • Communication and customer contact
  • Administration and organization
  • Economy and society
  • Digital tools
  • Project and team work
  • Self-organization and time management

The training is particularly suitable for ambitious young and competitive athletes who wish to acquire a recognized professional qualification alongside their sporting career.

 
Is Sport KV right for me?

The training is particularly suitable for people who:

  • Practice competitive sports
  • want to combine training and sport
  • Have an interest in commercial activities
  • like to organize and communicate
  • want to secure their professional future at an early stage

Sport KV offers the opportunity to pursue sporting and professional goals in parallel.

 
Level of difficulty

Sport KV places high demands on self-organization.

In addition to the academic and practical training content, training sessions, competitions and recovery times also have to be coordinated.

It is therefore important:

  • Discipline
  • Load capacity
  • Personal responsibility
  • good time management
  • Motivation in sport and education

If you want to successfully combine competitive sport and training, you need stamina and good planning.

 
Career & prospects

The Federal VET Diploma in Business Administration qualification opens up a wide range of professional and academic training options.

Possible perspectives are:

  • Entry into commercial professions
  • Continuing education, further training
  • Federal Diploma of Higher Education
  • College of Higher Education (CHE)
  • Universities of Applied Sciences (depending on requirements)

The Sport KV thus offers a valuable foundation for the time after an active sports career and at the same time opens up a wide range of development opportunities in professional life.

 

(Prospective) top athletes need a lot of time for their daily sports training. Completing an apprenticeship at the same time is utopian and simply impossible. For this reason, selected private schools sometimes offer basic education courses with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training, such as the Sports Business School or the Sport KV, whose timetables have been specifically adapted to the athletes' training schedules. The KV can be completed in the B profile as well as in the E profile. A successful entrance examination is required for the M profile.

Although the participants do not work in an internship company during the first three years of the apprenticeship, they have plenty of time for their training units. School lessons take place two days a week in the first two years and one day a week in the third year at the commercial school. In addition, the private school offers homework lessons and support classes to ensure that all students successfully complete the qualification procedure (QV) after three years. During the fourth year of the Sport KV apprenticeship, 50 - 70% of the apprentices work in an internship company, leaving 30 - 50% of the working week for training hours.
