About the course: Are you passionate about rowing and want to make a difference in your club? If yes, the British Rowing Session Coach course is for you!

The British Rowing Session Coach course is a recognised Level 2 Award in Coaching Rowing Sessions. It is aimed at beginner coaches and is designed for individuals who want to support their club by coaching occasional sessions, assisting, or supporting ‘Learn to Row’ courses. Accredited by 1^st4Sport, this award provides a framework to develop rowers through skill-based sessions. The award focuses on coaching individuals on the water while supporting Club Coaches. 

Key Learnings? 

The course structure focuses on developing three core areas:

• Safety
• Session Planning
• Skill Development

The course is balanced with both theory and practical elements. As a Session Coach award holder, you will be able to plan, deliver and review stand-alone rowing sessions and you will be qualified to work independently, but you may be part of a larger coaching team delivering a session as part of a programme written by another coach. 

Key Benefits: Why choose the Level 2 Award in Coaching Sessions?

• Gain a recognised qualification accredited by 1^st4Sport. 
• Contribute to the growth and development of rowers in your club. 
• Enhance your coaching skills and gain confidence. 
• Join a network of passionate coaches within British Rowing. 

Who can attend? Anyone over 18 years of age inspired to develop their coaching skills. Some courses are also open to the 16–17 age group, for which details can be found in the section titled ‘For Coaches aged 16-17’.
