England Boxing puts learning at the heart of its coach education programme and is putting in place a system that encourages coaches to grow and develop their knowledge and skills.
Coaches will soon be able to choose from a range of modules/subjects to plan and manage their relevant learning opportunities over an extended period.
England Boxing Level 1 Assistant Coach Refresher
The revalidation period for England Boxing Level 1 Assistant Coach is three years.
The Level 1 Online Refresher course is designed for all England Boxing Level 1 Assistant coaches who need to renew their qualification before it expires.
Failure of an England Boxing Level 2 Full Coach course will function as revalidation for your current qualification. The England Boxing Level 1 Assistant Coach qualification expiry date will be amended on your Locker account to reflect the 3 additional years expiry date.
If your Level 1 Qualification has already expired, you must complete the full England Boxing Level 1 Assistant Coach course to regain certification and obtain your license.
