Course Overview
Course Overview
These National Progression Awards (NPAs) in Sports Coaching are jointly certificated with Sport Scotland and the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).
These NPAs will develop a learner’s interest in coaching. Set at SCQF levels 5 and 6, the NPAs take a very practical and vocational approach, with much of the delivery taking place within a variety of sporting contexts.
At SCQF level 5, the NPA introduces learners to the role of a coaching assistant within a supervised environment and develops an understanding of professional practice in coaching. This will be done through assisting a coach in the planning, delivery and review of sports coaching sessions.
