All learners will need to have completed some additional workshops before signing up to a Level 2 course. The prerequisites for this qualification are:

Once you have completed these workshops, you will need to upload the certificates onto the ‘Credentials’ section of your membership account with British Rowing. The system will only allow you to book on once this process has been completed.
A current ‘Emergency Aid’ and ‘Safeguarding & Protecting Children’ certificate must be held at the time of booking your ‘Independent Assessment’.
'Safeguarding and Protecting Children' training must be through UKCoaching - see https://www.ukcoaching.org/courses/workshops/safeguarding-protecting-children. 'Emergency Aid' can be done with any independent provider. It must be a practical course that includes emergency CPR training.
For Coaches aged 16-17:
If you are 16 or 17, you will need to be 16 at the time of booking. A parent or guardian will need to complete a consent form, which will be sent as a part of the booking confirmation email at the time of booking.

Until you are 18, you must be supervised during all coaching activities.
