cheers Sam,that sheds a bit of light on it........is there funding involved to achieve the qualification as that is a lot of money to fork out,also who does the training for the qualification...........what aspects of angling does the training cover,obviously health and safety first
I received funding for the level 2,if you haven't had funding before its easy enough to get it from various places,its mainly level 2 game anglers who do the training for the qualification,it involves safe fish practice,demonstrating casting,what you'd do when in a fishing scenario i.e when you have groups or people out(mainly session planning and risk assessment's),fish anatomy,tying knots,different rigs etc. Are you interested in becoming a coach like Chris?
Not really thought about it Sam,just was interested in the sudden rise in people getting the qualification,i can however see the benefits in training people to become competent sea anglers,is there certain groups that the coaches will target,ie young offenders,disabled or is it open to young people who are starting off in angling........obviously specific groups may have funding to pay for coaching sessions....if young people starting off in angling wanted coaching would they have to pay for it out of there own pocket.......what sort of money would a coach expect to earn for tutoring a group or individual for the day,dont mean to put you on the spot sam but it is quite an interesting topic :up22:
