had level2 roll out yesterday.

i was discusted to find out that now. you can take up archery register for level one, complete in two months, register for level2 . coach people

where the hell do these people learn about archery techniques etc, as proper archers know.. noone is the same, uk archers especially.
must admit Koreans are born n bred archers. are they not

I attend my level 2 tutor's course in acouple of weeks. I sincerely hope what you are saying is not right.The 'old' method may have had its faults but at least there was a time restriction on when you could register to become a coach (2 years GNAS membership) and you couldn't get to the next grade until you'd been 'in the job' for at least 3 years.

As has been said so many times before on this, and other forums, GNAS coaches have a dreadful reputation in the main and it is my understanding that these courses have been designed , in part, the redress this. The other, greater part, I understand is to get the funding to redesign the course in the 1st place.

I would hope that there is a minimum entry reqirement, over and above a Level 1 certificate for entry onto a Level 2 course.

Colin - these are UK courses designed to create "parity" in coaching across all sports. So entry requirements will I guess be laid down outwith archery and will be the same in all sports.

It would be interesting to guest on other sports boards and see if all their moans and gripes are the same as the ones voiced here

Probably when we have the resources and money the FA have to throw behind this.

Oh - and when archers are willing to pay those sort of prices for a coaching course and ultimately coaching.
I have recently been approached to run a L1 course. Candidates are being asked to make a donation of £10 towards the cost of assessors and venue hire but it is sort of assumed I will run the course for free!!!

Whenever it is - I will probably be busy
