The BASC Shotgun Coach award will enable you to offer a service of practical shooting advice and tuition.
BASC realises that there is a demand for a formal training scheme for teachers of shotgun shooting for those who wish to appear as BASC coaches at shows and events and others who want to obtain the award purely for their own benefit.
To ensure standards of good practice are maintained, BASC Shotgun Coaches are required to re-accredit every three years by assessment if they want to continue as an accredited BASC Coach. In addition accredited coaches will be able to access continuous professional development provided by BASC.
Once you have completed the award, if you wish to further develop your knowledge, you may continue on to do Unit 9 of Edexcel Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Learning and Development (QCF) – Facilitate learning and development for individuals. The cost for this is not included in the cost of the BASC Shotgun Coach Award.
To excel as a BASC Shotgun Coach you require the ability to identify the clients learning needs and provide motivational and constructive feedback to maximise their potential.
As a pre-requisite to registering for the BASC Shotgun Coach Award, potential candidates must hold a current BASC Safe Shot Award, have attended a BASC Shotgun Coach Foundation Day, and be a member of BASC. You must also be 21 years of age or over and hold a current Shotgun Certificate.
The three day workshop will enable an assessment to be made of the mentoring required, based on your ability and experience. The days will consist of some intense training as a group and 1-1 training with the Mentors from the training team.
During the workshop you will work with different mentors to provide you with more rounded training and a greater understanding of the coaching role. You will also be assigned a Mentor for the purpose of your individual mentoring sessions.
Following your successful completion of the course you will arrange your individual mentoring sessions with your assigned Mentor at a mutually agreed time and place. The six hours’ worth of mentoring sessions is included in the price of the course.
Having been put forward to Live Assessment you will be assessed by an Accredited BASC Shotgun Assessor who will observe your coaching ability.
The Award requires that you pass three assessments consecutively (other conditions apply). Any completed assessments are valid for two years.
The total cost of the award is £ 725. This is payable in advance.
There may be some requirement for pre course reading. This, along with other relevant materials, will be given to you well in advance.
You will be expected to cover some subjects that are not covered at the live events and you may be required to prove your knowledge in theory, for example, by planning a lesson. If you have any supporting documentation such as lesson plans or proofs of training you have received this would be useful for your portfolio.
BASC will provide you with a certificate, badge and skeet vest upon successful completion of the three assessments.
The idea of a student centred learning is for you to manage your own development with our assistance. It is possible to take time out at any time throughout the process providing it is agreed with BASC. We recommend that you plan on at least a minimum of one year from commencing to gaining the Award dependant on your commitment.
It is important that you gain as much coaching experience prior to and during the process to give you the skills and knowledge to progress. It is also important to note that this award is demanding in respect of your time and effort to achieve the standard.
It may be possible to speed up the process – in some extreme circumstances two or three assessments may be carried out at one live event. Much will depend on the individual student and their availability to commit to the process.
