For anyone wishing to gain a nationally recognised professional coaching qualification, you might like to check out a new award that has been developed by the BCCMA (the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts – the National Governing Body for Chinese Martial Arts), which is validated by the CIMSPA (the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity).
If you are interested, please follow this link, which will take you to the BCCMA website, where you will find further information and an opportunity to join the first preparatory full day online training programme (via Zoom) on 17th September 2023, for the modest fee of £60 for BCCMA members or £90 for non-members.
Successful completion of the course will involve the assessment of your teaching skills and knowledge, including syndicate work, video evidence of your teaching practice and the completion of home-based written assignments. When achieved, the award will not only be helpful if you are seeking employment in the fitness industry but will also be a useful prerequisite if you decide to go on to undertake subsequent assessment for CIMSPA ‘technical specialisms’ (when available) such as Tai Chi or Qigong for Health and Well-being, which will be particularly useful for anyone teaching these arts within the NHS.
The course has capacity for a maximum of twenty participants – first come, first served – so please book your place ASAP if you want to take advantage of this opportunity.
