Rowing coaching courses
British Rowing offers five levels of Awards
Indoor Rowing
Dry Instructor's Award
The Dry Instructor's award is designed for coaches of participants
on an indoor rowing machine.
Rowing on the water
The United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is a government initiative to improve the quality of coach education, and help to achieve parity of coaching levels across sports. For awards to be UKCC recognised, they must meet high levels of quality in their design, the materials used, and in delivery and assessment. British Rowing has achieved UKCC status for its awards for coaches of participants on the water.
United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (Rowing) Level 2
The Level 2 award replaces the Instructors Award (IA). The materials,
course delivery and assessment have been substantially reviewed. The
award is now targeted at beginner coaches and not just coaches of
beginners, as it is the entry level award for those wishing to gain
qualification of their on water coaching. The Level 2 Certificate
qualifies coaches to prepare for, deliver and review coaching sessions.
United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (Rowing) Level 3
The Level 3 Certificate qualifies coaches to plan, implement, analyse
and revise annual coaching programmes, and builds on practices learnt
at Level 2.
United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (Rowing) Level 4
The Level 4 Certificate qualifies coaches to design, implement and
evaluate the process and outcome of a long-term or specialist coaching
programme.
