Becoming a club coach

Qualification Levels

The club encourages all members 14 years and over to become coaches and normally gives financial support.

For those wishing to do a one day taster course or just assist the Club coaches then Teaching Orienteering Part 1 could be attended. However most of the day needs to be repeated for the UKCC Level 1 qualification.

British Orienteering has a four level Coaching qualification with UKCC Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Orienteering being the first stage. The training course is three days long with two days instruction and one day assessment.

UKCC Level 1 Pack is at http://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/volunteer-support/coaching-award-scheme.php#UKCC1

Next Coaching Courses

The next local UKCC Level 1 coaching course is at Groby Community College which is free to LEI members is on

Saturday 8th May, 22nd May and 19th June.

If these dates are not convenient then there are other courses on the British Orienteering web site. It is possible to do days at different training courses around the country as long as they are in sequence.

Next Teaching Orienteering Part 1 is on Thursday 6th May and we have a couple of places on Thursday 11 March.

Please book a place with Roger Edwards (), Development Team leader.
