Who can attend? Any coach holding the Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Rowing or suitable equivalent will be able to attend a Level 3 Induction day.
The aim of the Induction day and the new structure of the Level 3 is to support all learners to succeed. The Induction day is also designed to help you make an assessment of your current coaching position and identify if the Level 3 is the correct next step for you.
How is the award structured? The Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Rowing focuses on developing coaching behaviours and coaches' skills and knowledge in the areas of safe and professional behaviour, communication, planning and reviewing and rowing specific sequential activity.
