What does the course entail – what will be required of me?
You will be required to complete 5 assessments. The first 3 assessments will be practical and completed at the face-to-face sessions with your peers on the course. Once you have completed these, you are required to deliver a 12-week program to someone outside your course. The final assessments will consist of creating a portfolio and presenting to your course leader whilst you plan, deliver, and reflect on the 12-week program.
Practical Assessment A
Foundation movements coaching - coach a 20 minute session to a small group
Practical Assessment B
Coaching safety in the gym - spotting and failing safely
Practical Assessment C
Strength-based training assessment - coach a 40 minute session to an individual
Assessment D - Programming & Planning
With a real life participant, carry out a consultation, needs analysis, performance testing, and design a 12-week programme.
You will then present this work to your assessor, 1-to-1 (can be done via Teams/Zoom).
Assessment E - Impact Assessment & Reflective Practice
Deliver and submit evidence of programme changes, and reflective log. You will be required to present your reflections and complete an anatomy and physiology quiz.
