ASQ Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Golf

We are not currently taking new applications at this time. An adapted/different delivery model is currently being reviewed.

This qualification is available to individuals with an interest in golf coaching, (who meet the course entry requirements listed below), and who wish to further develop their golf coaching knowledge and skills in order to support an identified coaching need.

Approximately four weeks prior to attending the first day of the Level 2 course all candidates will be enrolled on to an online learning platform where they will access the learning resources that support the course delivery and prepare them for the assessments. The learning resources include a Home Study Workbook, Technical, Tactical and Physical Manual and Coaching Log resources.

The Level 2 course can take around 25 weeks to complete. During this time candidates will be expected to read through the manuals provided in preparation for four days of practical course (delivered as two, two‐day sessions).

Two days of practical assessment will follow that will involve assessment of individual coaching sessions, explanation and demonstration of various golf shots, as well as a 45-minute multiple choice questionnaire.

Candidates are also assessed through the submission of a coaching log book that records and reviews six individual coaching sessions, of which four are linked together to show progression and development.
