The Level 4 units lay the foundations of learning by providing a specialised introduction to coaching in the UK landscape and different coaching functions. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing you for Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal responsibility. You will gain a wide range of coaching knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. You will be involved in vocational activities that help to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for competence) and transferable skills. You will also develop a range of transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and the workplace. By the end of Level 4, you will have sound knowledge of the concepts of coaching in the UK.
