The BASC shotgun coach award will enable you to offer a service of practical shooting advice and tuition. We realise there is a demand for a formal training scheme for shotgun shooting coaches, whether it is to appear as a BASC coach at shows and events or to coach purely for their own benefit. To ensure that 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 accredited BASC coaches. In addition, accredited coaches will be able to access continuous professional development provided by BASC. The three-day workshop will consist of an assessment of the mentoring required, based on your ability and experience. The days will consist of intensive training as a group, as well as one-to-one training with the mentors from the training team. During the workshop, you will work with different mentors who will provide you with more rounded training and a greater understanding of the coaching role. You will also be assigned a mentor for your individual mentoring sessions. Following the successful completion of the course, you will be required to arrange your individual mentoring sessions with your assigned mentor at a mutually agreed time and place. The six hours of mentoring are included in the price of the course. You will then undergo live assessments with an accredited BASC shotgun assessor who will observe your coaching abilities. The award requires that you pass three assessments consecutively (other conditions apply). Any completed assessments are valid for two years.
