Basketball UKCC Level 3

The National Source Group are currently working to develop the Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Basketball

What benefits to Coaches will the changes bring?

• The qualifications have been designed to meet the needs of our coaches and vitally our players at the appropriate levels
• The Basketball UKCC levels are recognised qualifications that will sit on the Scottish Qualifications Framework
• The qualifications will meet the UKCC endorsed quality standard
• The coach tutors, assessors and verifiers are fully trained and accredited to deliver the best quality course for the candidates

What happens to existing qualifications? Exisiting coaching awards will no longer be delivered (please note the the Getting Started course sits outwith the UKCC structure). Holders of coaching awards prior to January 2008 will be still be valid for a set time period. The date is yet to be agreed. Bridging packs will be produced for the Level 2 and Level 3 awards to cover the knowledge gaps that exist between the old awards and the new UKCC coaching qualifications. Completion of the pack represents Phase 1 of converting to the new qualification. Phase 2 will involve applying for assessment. Details of this process are yet to be confirmed.
