Welcome to the Coaching area for the Lancashire Aikikai
instructors and prospective instructors. The Aikikai believes all its instructors who take classes unsupervised
should hold Governing Body coaching awards, be First Aid qualified
and hold instructors insurance inline with the governing body's expectation
of its members.
Pathway
The Lancashire Aikikai has set out its own procedure that builds in coaching award, CRB checks and other matters. So if you are aspiring to help in a Club start by reading the procedure described on the Pathway page where additional requirements are described and also explains "Assist only" instructor requirements. Before any one teaches, assists or helps they must have permission from the Head of Association in writing.
Coaching
