Community Activator Coach (Level 2)

Community Activator Coaches are more than activity and sports leaders – they understand communities and participants.

You will:

  • Be equipped with the specialist knowledge needed to effectively work with participant groups such as inactive teenagers.
  • Gain experience working with a range of different communities and all kinds of participants who are likely to be defined as inactive, sedentary or not doing enough physical activity in their lives.
  • Learn how to make communities and people’s lives better through physical activity, organised play and sport.
  • Become a positive role model who builds good rapport with participants – especially those who are young, inactive, or from low-income and marginalised communities.
  • Work alongside youth workers, the police and community safety agencies to make neighbourhoods safer, and work alongside health workers to make residents fitter and healthier.

The modules you will work through on your apprenticeship are:

  1. Professional Practice and Personal Development
  2. Leading Healthy Lifestyles
  3. Coaching Sport & Physical Activity: Planning & Preparing Sessions
  4. Coaching Sport & Physical Activity: Delivering Sessions
  5. Understanding the Customer
  6. Getting People Active
  7. Support Organisational Services
  8. Working in the Community
  9. Workplace Project

How will it look?

Education will be delivered through Coach Core’s education cycles which involve

  • Face to face education sessions exposing you to key topics & information to broaden your awareness and knowledge with a practical focus
  • Face to face or Virtual education sessions exploring key topics and information covered in previous sessions to deepen your knowledge, make sense of things and solve problems
  • Personalised 1-to-1 sessions to support you to independently take what you’ve have learned and try it out in your own real situations, in ways that are relevant to you
  • Discovery weeks, where you will be signposted to self-directed learning activities
