Presentation & Objectives

The GDOSSL Professional License (level 6 certification) is part of an effort to bring the university and the professional world closer together, and more specifically to provide enrolled trainees with knowledge in the public and private spheres of sports management in France and Europe.

This approach is a priority based on the following observations:

  • Difficulty recruiting candidates capable of marketing sports products and services.
  • Relative lack of understanding, or even division, between the public and private spheres of sport, which needs to be reduced.
  • The gap to be bridged between initial and continuing education,
  • The dynamism of sports marketers in Occitanie, drawing on a strong history of sporting excellence, sport for all, and outdoor sports.
  • Initial efforts to build bridges between associations, businesses, and local authorities (financial links, business creation and incubators, structural levers, support and calls for projects, etc.) that must be supported.
  • Presence of shared skills in sports marketing to modernize and optimize the management of sports organizations.

Continuous monitoring of the work carried out by trainees during and between the various group sessions at the university is a key educational priority in this program. The 600-hour contract within an organization, in the form of an internship, salaried position, or entrepreneurship, is where the targeted skills emerge, take root, and are certified. It covers several dimensions:

  • Organizational management: knowledge of the management and organization of the company or association, statutes, financial management, analysis, budgeting, and cost control.
  • Event management: project methodology, drafting specifications, partnerships, communication, economic impact.

Marketing applied to sports, physical activities, and recreation: the market, prospects, commercial products, sales, and market economics applied to sports.
