Coaching Qualifications
Whether you are new to coaching or leading, want to start coaching your own group or want to try a new discipline, we have courses available to meet your needs. Our course programme offers a mixture of online, face to face and blended learning to help you fit in the training at a time and pace to suit you.

Coaching Assistant and Athletics Coach
A comboned course for those who wish to move directly through to Athletics Coach level. In-person days, a series of online, self-guided learning modules, and finally a in-person practical assessment.
Leadership in Running Fitness
Ideal for leading groups of recreational or beginner runners, including as part of an affiliated running or athletics club, or RunTogether group. This qualification provides insurance for you to lead a group.
Athlete to coach
A tailored and intensive training programme that allows senior athletes – who have represented GB&NI or a Home Nation – to gain Athletics Coach and build on knowledge developed through an athletics career.
2025 sees our remote activity/assessments migrated from DREAMS over to MyLearning. MyLearning is now a central hub whereby online modules can be completed as normal, but also has the function to complete remote activities/assessments as opposed going between different platforms. This has created an opportunity to make the process more user friendly and efficient to those going through our qualifications.
