This course follows on from the Level 1
course, lasts 3 days and consists of a two-day
core module and a one-day
event module (see below) with a practical
assessment. Choose one from four different event group
modules.
The "core" part of the award is taken by coaches of
all disciplines and goes into greater depth on topics such learning
styles, how to use questioning and give feedback in your coaching,
how to use demonstrations appropriately, how to most effectively
observe and analyse athletes you are coaching. At the same
time, topics such as planning a session, anatomy and physiology,
strength training, development of power, teaching technique are all
covered. Following on from the core, coaches go through
a period of "supported practice" during which they will work with a
more experienced coach. Some of these sessions will be logged
and coaches are encouraged to reflect on what they have
learnt. The final part of the award is an "event specific"
day (usually 8 - 10 weeks later), when a coach will decide which
event group they would like to specialise in (e.g. Sprints,
Endurance, Jumps and Throws). This is a half-day session
where coaches can expect to learn about the specific techniques
involved in the events and how to coach them. During the
final half-day session the coaches are assessed while they deliver
a short coaching session that they have prepared
previously.
Candidates
must hold a Level 1 Coach award before
embarking on Level 2.
Successful
completion of Level 2 will qualify and insure you to work
unsupervised in a selected group of events and will also build on
coaching skills acquired under Level 1. Minimum age =
18
Coaches already at
Level 2 can attend further event group modules to add to their
existing Level 2 qualifications. In this circumstance, there
