UKCC/1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Table Tennis (L2CCTT)
The course consists of four days, organised as two weekends separated by a home study period of 8 – 10 weeks. It builds on the planning and evaluation skills learnt at Level 1, and involves a more advanced level of technical knowledge.
At this level, coaches are expected to demonstrate more of an ability to analyse and improve the performance of their players, and demonstrate a commitment to their own development through extended home study.
The ETTA recommends that the lead coach in a club should be qualified to a minimum L2CCTT, as below this level the coach will only be insured for teaching the basic skills of the sport.
Local authorities, Schools and County Sports Partnerships etc will normally require any coach that they employ / deploy to hold a minimum Level 2 UKCC qualification.
Bridging
In April 2013, ETTA National Council voted to abandon the requirement for coaches who qualified under the old (pre-2007) coaching system to bridge to the UKCC qualifications.
The ETTA Coaching department still recommends that any coach who wishes to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date should gain a UKCC endorsed Level 2 qualification. However to do so in future, ETTA qualified coaches will have to attend the full Level 2 course.
If you had already registered for a bridging course and it was cancelled, please contact the ETTA Coaching Department for advice on how to proceed.
