Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Triathlon
The Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Triathlon is the highest qualification on offer with Welsh Triathlon.
Overview
The Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Triathlon is designed for individuals who are dedicated to coaching and want to improve both their theoretical and practical coaching skills.
The Level 3 course is interactive and involves group discussion, presentations and most importantly practical coaching experiences throughout all three disciplines. It has been designed to build on the training and experience gained at Level 2 to further develop your skills as a triathlon coach and introduce you to the more specific skills of working with individual athletes on a one to one basis.
The course builds on the Level 2 qualification and introduces the interdisciplinary nature of sport science and periodisation for coaching on a individual basis from novice to age-group level. Coaches are also introduced to delivering field based testing methods, i.e. non-laboratory tests, while also developing decision-making skills in relation to a number of role-play scenarios.
September 2011 Update
As part of a wider review of the Coach Education Program, the Level 3 program is under review.
A number of changes are being proposed, including a review of the resources and delivery methods to better meet the needs of coaches and the sport at this level.
This process is taking longer than initially planned, however we are commited to developing an industry leading qualification. We have chosen to delay delivery until we can fully meet our own standards and expectations of learners.
• The planned course will be over 9 days
• Specialist deliverers and guest speakers
More details will be made available from December 2011 onwards. We regret we cannot give any potential dates of the course at the current time, but we expect courses to start Feb/March 2012.
