Accessibility Note. This film shows people on the Strength and Conditioning Level 3 Award at Sport Wales. It begins with course leader Seb Moran talking about the course, and then a number of the participants explain why they are taking part in the course. All speakers are in the gym venue with other participants in the background.
What is the time commitment?
The practical, face-to-face weekends for the 2024 course are: 21-22 September, 19-20 October, & 23-24 November. After this, all assessments will be online and flexible. You will need to commit to coaching a participant (this would ideally be an athlete you already coach, but could be a family member or friend taking part in any level of sport) through an S&C program and keep a comprehensive portfolio of your planning & delivery over a period of 12-weeks.
Do you cater for specific learning needs?
Yes. Please let us know if you have any specific learning requirements or ongoing injuries which may impact your ability to take part in a practical session, and we will cater for these on your course.
Will this allow me to be insured/covered to deliver in a gym-based environment?
Yes! If you already work through a NGB or school, the qualification should allow you deliver S&C as part of your employment and be covered on their existing liability policy. You can also decide to take out private insurance if you would like to do your own private S&C work outside of your organisation.
What if I can’t make one of the weekend?
Whilst we recommend attending all face-to-face days to get the most out of the course, you will still be able to complete the qualification if you cannot attend one of the days/weekends. You may need to complete some catch up independent work at home, or come in during a weekday if you miss one of the practical assessments.
