Changes to BCU UKCC Awards from January 2014From 1st January 2014 BCU Awarding Body (BCUAB) will be implementing a number of changes to the BCU UKCC Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Paddlesport.
These updates are required in response to changes in the National Occupational Standards affecting learning and assessment criteria for UKCC endorsed qualifications. This has also provided BCUAB with the opportunity to implement updates recommended from our own internal review of the qualifications to ensure meet the needs of our sport.
BCUAB has worked together with the Home Nation Association Delivery Centres throughout the development phase.
Updates Specific to Level 1
On the surface the updated qualification will look very similar, with the award still focused around planning, delivering and reviewing single coaching sessions, normally under supervision.
At assessment the written paper has been removed and the workbook has been strengthened in its place.
