How We Develop Our Coaches
From the initial thoughts of becoming a coach, your personal journey into coaching begins. We encourage coaches to improve their skills and knowledge regularly so as to provide angling with the highest possible professional standards.
The first steps through Event Support Volunteer and Angling Lead Coach are followed by opportunities through Continued Professional Development courses and bulletins through the All In! monthly newsletter, plus an invitation to our yearly coaching conference.

COACHING QUALIFICATIONS
The Angling Trust’s Coaching Centre currently offers two courses:
Event Support Volunteer and Level 2 Angling Event Lead Coach.
These courses aren’t designed to teach you how to fish or make you a more proficient angler. They’re concerned with building on your existing knowledge and experience, offering you either a step towards becoming a coach (Event Support Volunteer), or the means to gain the coaching skills and tools to become an Event Lead Coach. In either case we aim to help you to assist others in learning the sport and achieving their potential as anglers.
Many people who ask about becoming a coach refer to their own love for the sport generating a need to “give something back”.
