British Wrestling is pleased to launch our new online wrestling coaching course platform. We have worked closely with Sports Structures to develop the new interactive online learner platform for the theory elements of our coaching courses.
How It Works
British Wrestling offers two levels of coaching course, you can find out more about the coaching pathway here. The new online coaching course platform enables greater flexibility for prospective coaches by splitting the courses into two parts. Part 1 is coaching theory and is delivered and tested online. Part 2 is practical and will be delivered as soon as national restrictions allow.
Currently we are only hosting the Level 2 Coaching theory while the Level 1 theory is in development and will launch sometime during the final quarter of 2020 or first quarter of 2021.
All the theory based learning for our coaching courses must be completed prior to a learner booking their place on Part 2 Practical. Part 2 Practical courses will be delivered regionally to reduce travel for coaches.
This new approach has enabled us to reduce the overall cost of coaching courses a saving that we are able to pass on to you. Total cost of a level 2 course previously for our members was £450 and the cost now is £400 split into two payments.
To be able to book onto the course, approval of prior learning is required, this criteria includes the 1st4sport level 1 certificate in coaching wrestling or a BWA recognised equivalent (assessed on a case by case basis). This can be uploaded to your membership profile prior to booking or submit to BWA staff for approval.
Part 1 and Part 2 are both separate payments.
