This course will support learners to develop the knowledge and skills required to lead their own coaching sessions within their own environment. The course will cover the following topics:

• Developing your role as a coach
• Developing your coaching practice
• Understanding the individuals you coach
• Managing relationships
• Developing the coaching environment
• Protecting self and others
• Planning progressive coaching sessions
• Delivering progressive coaching sessions
• Reviewing progressive coaching sessions

Learners will also be required to complete a UK Coaching Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop to meet certain elements of the course assessment criteria. The price of the workshop is not included in the price of the Level 2 Certificate in Coaching as learners may already have completed the workshop prior to signing up for the course.

The course is recognised as an industry-standard Level 2 course and maps to the CIMSPA professional standard for coaches.

Who is the course for?

The 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Coaching will enable learners to begin coaching independently, i.e. without needing the supervision of a Level 2 Coach (if over 18 years of age), within the environment they were assessed in. This may be in either a paid or voluntary role.

We recommend that learners check with the organisation they coach for or intend to coach for to ensure that they will accept this qualification.
