Who is it for?

The Level 2 Coaching Certificate is recommended for cable operators that coach regularly at their site and instruct people to go over kickers and rails. The qualification meets the minimum standard for coaching unaccompanied at any level within the sport and is therefore recommended to coaches working with any level of participant from beginner to advanced. On successful completion of the qualification, candidates will be certified to coach unassisted in the UK and abroad.
