Doing my level 1 at the moment, had two days at the centre of excellence in taunton over the weekend and have my assessment next saturday, anyone else got/doing any coaching qualifications?

after my level 1 i plan to crack on to level 2 and possibly level 3.

our club has had a load of funding recently for coaching so when i'm qualified i will be able to be paid

I was meant to be doing the coaching course your'e currently taking part in - however, the guy at our club who was meant to organise it for about 10 of us forgot to send the forms in on time so we all have to wait untill next year to do it - very,very,very annoying.

Good luck with the course, you'll pass easily though - i think they should make it harder to be honest, the amount of crap thaty spews out of some level 2/3 coaches beggars belief!

that really sucks mate! the same thing happened to me, i had to email somerset ccc direct and luckily they had a place left.... and yeah it should be ok, the pass rate at taunton is 98.4% so fingers crossed....

I didnt realise it was possible to fail

lol, yeah there are 13 sections where you have to be competant.... if you miss one you fail. however after the session you lead you have a review, where the assessor tells you where you went wrong. after that there is an evaluation where you have the chance to verbally say where you went wrong, so you can be ticked off....

so basically very hard to fail...

if you fail level 1 you should be forced to quit cricket, leave the country and become a frenchman.
i passed my level 1 last year and it is ridiculously easy. 2 and 3 get trickier and take much longer.

paid for being level 1? this is tecnically only a coaching assistant so would be surprised if they paid you. level 2 then understandable.

All you need do is enjoy the sessions and show you're keen.
They are not looking for people who are geniuses. They are more intereted in people who are keen to learn and enjoy it.
If enthusiasm shows through, then when you become a coach, it will show through!
The main guy who was taking the sessions when i did it was just as interested in peoples attitudes.

lol slogger!!

i passed the practice assessment on sunday so pretty confident.....

and the reason we may be paid is because our club has to spend at least �5000 on coaching in this calendar year so it can be 'sportmatched'. so 3 of us are doing coaching awards and then will be doing sessions all through the summer. we have been doing it voluntary for the past year and the main reason we need the award is so we can join the ECB coaches association so we can be insured....

Just passed my level 2 coaching badge, a total different world to the level 1 badge and really worth doing! Goes a lot more into technical and mental side of cricket.

The biggest thing you will learn on the level 2 is that any preconceived ideas of technique you have must be left behind!! It does give you the skills and confidence to take a group of kids and implement and provide a progressive session plan/course.

got my level 1 cricket last year to go with my level 2/3 hockey and going to do my level 2 cricket this year as funded by ecb due to being accredited and went really easy as one of the assesors was the coach for our club due to him being a level 3 assesor and was told by head bloke impossible to fail level 1 as if you don't get the mark they just ask you back but don't actually fail you but may be different in different places
