The course also includes an online Knowledge Test.
All the Day 3 & 4 dates become visible once a coach has booked on to their Day 1 & 2. They can attend a Day 3 & 4 at a different venue if the dates above do not work for them.
Candidates will be able to plan a progressive training programme for athletes coaching a range of activities to prepare the developing athlete to run, jump and throw. When qualified you will be insured to coach without supervision.
