Level 1 Coaching Course 5 Oct 2021

Previously known as UKCC coach qualifications, we now have our own Scottish Coach Qualifications which are fully accredited by the SQA, and are comprehensive and practical courses relevant for coaching in a Scottish context.

This is a high quality coaching qualification for orienteers who have attended the Coaching Foundation course. It provides skills to run single sessions. Subsidies are usually available from sportscotland.

INTENDED FOR:

Active orienteers interested in gaining their coaching qualification

USUAL DURATION:

As re-designed to be delivered partly online, this course will extend through three sessions,  2 x  1.5 hr online and 1 full day in person practical and tutor assessed.

The first online session will be 5 Oct. All pre-course work will need to be completed prior to this date. Following online session will be 19 Oct with the face to face assessment 30 Oct. (location tbd)

The pre-course work will be outlined in early Sept giving the learner a good amount of time to complete the work.

MAIN TOPICS:

Level 1 is the “Assistant Coach”, usually working with a more qualified coach though sometimes delivering a session alone after having received guidance from a more qualified coach. The focus of the Level 1 coach is the single session, usually progressing a skill within the session. Any progression from one session to the next would be under the direct supervision of a more qualified coach.

PRE-REQUISITES:

• Attendance at Coaching Foundation course
