Canoe Sport Coaching are very proud to support coaches through this award, and ensure the assessment is as unobtrusive and relaxed as possible. Our feedback speaks volumes and our clients very often further this award with us, going on to Moderate Water coaching and leading.
Before presenting for assessment, candidates must complete the Assessment Check In with their Home Nation Association to ensure they meet all of the prerequisites.
Assessment Check In Service
Check In is a new process for coaches who are planning to attend a Coach Award Assessment course.
It’s free, quick and confirmation sent straight to your inbox*. This should then be shared with the assessor to confirm eligibility for assessment.
The purpose of Check In is to confirm the coach holds all prerequisites, saving time on the day of the assessment, as the assessor doesn’t need to check certificates and paperwork.
Please do not try to check in unless you hold all prerequisites, including the completion of Coach Award eLearning module (unless you intend to submit your workbook and portfolio).
Confirmation of Check In will not be issued until the conditions are met.
