The course is face-to-face with supporting online resources delivered by expert practitioners in their respective fields.

Please note: The Level 4 Coaching Theory accreditation must be booked, as a minimum, to allow for application to the Performance Coach (PC)/Senior Club Coach (SCC) technical course. The theory accreditation on its own does not qualify a learner to PC/SCC status or guarantee a place on a PC/SCC technical course. Full PC/SCC status is only gained with both the Level 4 Coaching Theory & the equivalent PC/SCC discipline specific course (Cycle 6, 7 or 8 dependent on discipline).
