Level 2 Coaching Courses 2023 – South Wales

The Level 2 Lead Coach qualification is suitable for learners who have completed the Level 1 Session Coach qualification and wish to progress their coaching skills and knowledge.

The course consists of 3 days, spread over two weekends, and separated by a home study period of 8-10 weeks. The qualification will expand upon the ‘How to Coach’ and ‘What to Coach’ skills obtained in Level 1 in conjunction with other coaching theories, as well as their practical application.
