ASQ Level 1 Award in Coaching Golf

This qualification (known as the ASQ Award for Golf Coaching Assistants in Scotland) provides introductory coaching information, which allows those who successfully complete it to work alongside other qualified coaches (for example a Head Professional) to provide basic technical coaching to beginner golfers.

Prior to attending a Level 1 course candidates will be enrolled and provided with access to an online learning platform that includes all the resources required to complete the qualification. Access to the online learning materials will be provided approximately four weeks before the two-day practical course. During this time candidates will be expected to review the pre course materials in preparation for the course.

The course consists of a learning programme on day one focusing on offering participants good coaching practice guidance. Day two is Assessment Day, which will include delivery of a 15-minute coaching session.

A 45-minute multiple choice questionnaire will also be completed at the venue by attendees in Scotland, with those based in England, Wales and Ireland completing their MCQ online in the weeks following their practical course.

This qualification is only available to PGA Trainees as part of the Training Programme. For more information about enrolling on the PGA Training Programme click here.

Volunteers will be able to access alternative training via the Home Unions. For more information click here.
