Congratulations to Stephen Marshall who completed his assessment at the end of August for the new UKA "Athletics Coach" qualification.

Stephen completed his level 1 coaching course 18 months ago, and the new "Athletics Coach" qualification is equivalent to level 2/3 on the old system.

The "Athletics Coach" programme is a 4 day course that's held on 3 weekends over a 6 month period.

The new course is designed to develop technical knowledge and expertise across a range of events in relation to running, jumping and throwing activities. The programme forms a strong training and competition knowledge and skill base regardless of the event-specific choice.
