What Is UKCC?
The UK Coaching Certificate is an endorsement of sport specific coach education qualifications against agreed criteria across five levels. This means that all sports will have to include the same core content at each distinct level and meet minimum standards with regards to delivery and assessment for each qualification. By creating a recognised standard for coach education the UKCC will make it easier to identify a quality coach in any sport at any level and contribute immeasurably to the professionalisation of coaching.
The main aim of the UKCC is to improve the quality of coaching across the UK to provide safe and effective coaching system.
UKCC will work with a five Level framework:
- Generate, direct and manage the implementation of cutting-edge coaching solutions and programmes.
- Design, implement and evaluate the process and outcome of long term/specialist coaching programmes.
- Plan, implement, analyse and revise annual coaching programmes.
- Prepare for, deliver and review coaching session(s)
- Assist more qualified coaches, delivering aspects of coaching sessions, normally under direct supervision.
