Qualifications

Supporting you to develop the right level of skills, knowledge and behaviours that you can apply to be a great coach. 

Why are qualifications important for coaches?

 

Considering becoming a coach? Looking to advance your career? Unsure what qualifications you need? 

In order to develop your coaching goals, you’ll need to gain a regulated coaching qualification to support you in developing the right level of skills, knowledge and behaviours that you can apply to be a great coach.  

Qualifications aren’t just a tick-box exercise, they support coaches with the skills and knowledge to give coaches the confidence to develop and nurture themselves and those around them. 

Regulated qualifications add a level of external independent scrutiny where you are awarded your qualification following a valid and reliable assessment of your skills and knowledge and demonstrated this over a period of time.

Level 3

A Level 3 qualification will help you reach a high-performance / professional level. You will be equipped to lead your coaching workforce with elements that cover planning and prepping, analysis and tactics, and strength and conditioning.
