The Assistant Coach is not an equivalent to the new Coach Level 1.] The second part is obtaining a First Aid qualification, which meets the required standard. If you don't obtain an award of an appropriate standard you will find it can't be accepted for the purposes of the Coaching scheme. If in doubt talk to Sue Baird before enrolment on a course. Note: First Aid can be can done before the first part if you want. Further Coaching Development The next step is at 2nd Dan where if you want to you can go for the Coach Level 2 Award (this is up to you as the BAB requirement is that all people taking classes should hold at least the Level 1 Coach Award). Beyond that is the Level 3 Award. You can, as you get towards this level 2, start attending the Sports Coach UK [National Coaching Foundation's] external courses that are a requirement of the Award.
