Assessment Day Structure

Assessed in a professional, relaxed, informative and dare we say fun way. This one-day assessment will observe 2 coaching sessions along with your effect group control and safety during the day. You will coach real pupils (we prefer you to bring your own) and will coach them in the upper end of the conditions specified in the specific assessment you are taking. Time will also be taken to work on and discuss your pre-course discussion task and chat with you about your E-Learning

Our Assessments are run by course directors with high standards ensuring quality fit for deployment.

The Coach award has a minimum of 1 and maximum of two candidates per assessor to ensure you get the time and attention to make sure you can show us what you need to show to achieve success.
