We have a variety of Coach & Instructor training opportunities available to all levels. It may be you are just starting out, in which case it may be worth looking at our Adult Courses, or you may be well under way, so have a look at the information on the Course table below. Most activitiy disciplines have a National Governing Body who set the standard of awards. Have a look at the Progression Charts & Pre-Requisites on the table below, to see where you are at present.

We run a FREE 7 month full-time Instructor Training Course. There is also longer term paid employment on one of our Modern Apprenticships.

This said, many of you will be working towards awards in your own time. For this reason, we have put a variety of course dates together. We have tried to make all courses & dates as accessible as possible, though we are well aware dates & times don't always fit with your busy schedules. If this is the case please Contact Us to register your interest, as we commonly have alternative course dates available.

Further information on Coaching & Instructor awards can be found from the National Governing Bodies, as well as from our link to BCU resources. Please feel free to email or call us if you have any queries at all, we are only too pleased to help.
