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.

Training for Level 1 comprises some independent learning before the tuition and assessment. Most Level 1 courses assume learners have completed CF, in which case the tuition and assessment are completed over 2 days, usually a weekend. Occasionally a 3-day course is arranged, covering the full tuition, practice and assessment, as well as the independent learning beforehand.
