Coaching

The policy of the WFCA is that any person wishing to coach or work with young people must be a registered FWA Angling Coach.

The cost associated of becoming a coach is not that expensive and the cost can be covered through obtaining a grant from your local Community Chest Fund (check out our Funding for Projects Section).

It is essential that any person who is currently coaching children look to undertake the FWA Coaching Foundation Level 1 Coaching Course.

Every person who undertakes the roll of becoming a coach must undergo an Enhanced CRB Check and these are carried out by selected-trained personnel within the FWA Coaching Foundation in conjunction with the Criminal Records Bureau.

The level 1 Course is designed to make coaches more aware of their responsibilities especially in relation to Child Protection and Health and Safety.

In addition after you have completed your Level 1 coaching you will be protected by the Insurance Policy of the FWA Coaching Foundation.

The cost of a Level 1 Course is £100 but we must point out that each year you must maintain your licence by paying an annual fee of £35. This fee payable goes towards administration and general running costs and is also used towards your insurance.
