Level 2 training in llangollen - 2 courses Feb/March 2013:
Builds on Level 1 knowledge and consolidates coaching by developing a Level 1 coaching session to a Level 2 coaching session with a clear indication as to the differences. In particular the use of appropriate feedback, being a skilful coach, knowing when to apply different coaching styles to different groups for different techniques and environments. Quite a bit of theory, but taught in a variety of ways from lecture, group work, practical application with peer feedback and tutor feedback. The course is a training course which then requires the student to consolidate and complete a portfolio to present on a 1 day assessment where the coaching and paddling levels are assessed against a set of criteria.
The last day of the course is presented as a trip for which students develop their leadership skills and practice coaching on the move, with a paddle over Llangollen Viaduct.
