BRITISH GYMNASTICS ACADEMY COURSE

I completed the Level 3 coaching course in Men's Artistic Gymnastics in December 2018. The course was organised by the UK National Governing Body for the sport of Gymnastics (British Gymnastics).

 

ABOUT THE COURSE

The UKCC Level 3 qualification took the form of practical Technical Modules, covering all six apparatuses in men's artistic gymnastics (Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar), as well as a Generic theory course.

Technical Module 1 enabled me to teach a variety of exciting floor and vault skills. The skills sign-off sheet detailed below is what was required by me to demonstrate (support, progress and deliver, as well as physically prepare participants for the skills) during sign-off with a BG recognised assessor.

LEVEL 3 MEN'S ARTISTIC

By the end of March 2016 I took all Technical Modules at the Europa Gymnastics Centre in Dartford, and passed the practical assessment (post-course technical sign-off by the BG recognised assessor, Simon Moore, who is an International Men’s Artistic Brevet Judge) for each of the modules at the Sutton Gymnastics Academy in London.

On 3 and 4 September 2016, I took the Level 3 coaching theory at Heathrow Gymnastics Club in London. At the end of 2018, I submitted my portfolio with all required tasks to British Gymnastics, and after an interview with my BG recognised assessor (Julia Jones), I officially completed my Level 3.
