UK Coaching Certificate

The UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is an endorsement of sport specific coach education programmes against agreed criteria across 4 levels. This means that all sports that sign up to the UKCC will have the same core content as each distinct level and meet minimum standards with regards to delivery and assessment for each qualification. The main aim of the UKCC is to improve the quality of coaching across the UK to provide safe and effective coaching systems for participants within sport.

Level	What the coach will be qualified to do
1	Assist more qualified coaches, delivering aspects of coaching sessions, normally under direct supervision (must be aged 16 or over)
2	Prepare for, deliver and review coaching session(s) (must be aged 18 or over)
3	Plan, implement, analyse and revise annual coaching programmes
4	This is currently under review and are concerned with professional coaching and innovative coaching methods

The four levels provide coaches with a progressive development pathway from being a beginner coach (level 1) through to being a highly evolved expert coach. The levels are reflective of the coaching skills attained and not the level of the performer coached.
