Please note that booking is essential on all workshops.
The cost for each workshop is £10 per person (A maximum of two members per club) and if you sign up for one of the additional courses below then the second course is free.

2010 Coach Education Programme
We are especially pleased to present the 2010 Coach Education programme on our website. New for 2010 is the online booking and credit/debit card payment facilities.
We are able to provide additional support thanks to the backing of The College of West Anglia who subsidize the costs of level 1, Coaching Courses. We are grateful to Living Sport, the County Sports Partnership body, for assisting with funding bursaries for courses. As a result we are able to maintain our coach education bursary scheme and provide discounts to every Charter Standard club candidate on all of our coaching courses this year.
