How can I become a qualified coach in my sport
Every national governing body of sport in Wales has its own coaching qualifications. Most will have a structured pathway to becoming a coach; this often takes the following format:- Leaders/Introductory course - an introductory course for beginners, providing you with the basics to help in a club
- Level 1 - assistant coach
- Level 2 - full coach
- Level 3 - full coach with additional responsibilities e.g. mentoring other coaches
- Level 4 - regional coach
- Level 5 - elite coach
Alternatively, your local authority will have a sports development unit. They also provide coaching opportunities. Most sports development units will offer a programme of general coaching courses but will also be aware of what governing body courses are running in the area. You may find them a useful contact as they provide information on what is happening at a local level.
