CX Approved 1st4Sport Recognised Centre

Coaching Xchange is delighted to announce its approval as a recognised validation centre for coaching qualifications by 1st4Sport, the awarding body in the active learning and leisure industry.

After a rigorous assessment period, CX was rewarded with validation centre status and will now be able to deliver and award a vast range of coaching qualifications to coaches, organisations, clubs and volunteers. 1st4Sport validation will enable coaches to further enhance their skills, knowledge and understanding, improving their employment opportunities in the sports industry.

Amongst the coaching qualifications that this certification allows CX to award are 1st4Sport level 3 in Coaching and Performance. CX will also be offering 1st4Sport Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Physical Activity and Sport within the School Environment, ensuring the Sports Offer within schools is supported.

CX Founder, Darren Smith, commented on the exciting news for CX:

“Becoming a recognised centre for 1st4Sport complements the portfolio of services CX has to offer as it encourages the coaches we are already supporting through our conferences and Xchange trips abroad, to gain qualifications across a range of sports as well as enhances their development. This opportunity increases coaches knowledge base and transforms each individual into a more holistic coach. Really proud of all the hard work the team has put in and this further enhances our offer.”
