SSS Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have been thinking about my future career and decided I want to teach others to shoot. Now, the first hurdle I have to cross is training to be a coach. Where do I start? I have had a look on the basc website but cant seem to find anything. Can anyone help to point me in the right direction? Regards Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Brilliant. More expensive than I thought but it looks like the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 http://forms.southkesteven.gov.uk/SKDC%20I...incolnshire.pdf Page 6, well out of date but maybe worth a phonecall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Definitly worth a phone call. I need some more shotgun experience before I can do this though. CPSA and Lincolnshire Sports Partnership both ask for 2 years experience. I havnt had 1 yet! Patience is a virtue. Thanks for finding those for me apache, you are a very helpful chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heladoxa Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Bit expensive, perhaps, but you cold go on course that teach you how to shoot and pick out the best bits from each instructor and adapt them for your own use. Also you can pick up and reject the downside. What's that? Does he explain logically, does he mumble, is he late finishing with his previous client so that you lose 10 minutes? I did this with the demonstrators at our Art Society and I can now say, modestly of corse, that I am better than most of them. Hope this helps.

jimmyb79 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I too am starting to look into this, and I have received some information from BASC about their accreditation process. The first part involves the seeking out of a BASC specified 'mentor' to take you on as a trainee trainer. There are only a couple of dozen dotted around the country. They then tell you when you're ready to got to BASC assessments (which are obviously another expense). Once you've been assessed a few times at BASC events, then you receive your qualification. Having looked into both the BASC and CPSA routes, I'll probably be going with the CPSA to start with, but if you're interested in more information from BASC, send them an email and they'll send you out an information pack.

I know of a couple of BASC accredited coaches. I willl email BASC and try to find out more. Time to start saving those pennies. Thanks for the replies folks.
