Coach Development Workshops
The primary target audience for the new Coach Development Workshops are coaches who have attended the new UKCC2 course. These workshops are designed to act as “stepping stones” for individuals who wish to work towards attending either the UKCC3 course or the Club Coach Course (available from September 2007).
Coaches can also access these as CPD (Continual Professional Development). A certificate of attendance will be issued for each workshop attended.
These workshops will include content similar to the previous ECB Level II course but new developments have meant that we can include some updated information that we feel is valuable for coaches at this level.
These workshops will be three hours in duration.
