MAIN TOPICS:

The Level 2 coach often works alone or co-ordinating a small coaching team, usually within a club or a small cluster of clubs. A Level 2 coach can focus on a series of coaching sessions, often working towards a particular event. They understand about progressing skills from one session to the next, using different areas and refinements to make each session useful to a range of participants.

A Level 2 coach might mentor someone working towards that qualification.

Level 2 coaches are qualified to coach on type C areas, and can undertake a short workshop on “Coaching Safely in Remote Areas” to allow them to coach in areas which would otherwise require a Level 3 qualification.

The Level 2 course involves some independent learning and practical tasks before and after the tuition element, some logged experience (with mentor), one assessment session soon after the tuition, and the final assessment when all other tasks have been completed. Learners have up to 2 years from the start of tuition to complete the qualification.
