FAQs

Coaching

Who can attend the British Triathlon Coach Education courses?

The courses are open to anyone who is interested in becoming a triathlon coach, from interested parents, teachers and past or present triathletes through to the sports science graduate who wants to know more about coaching practice. The minimum age of entry at Foundation Coach is 14 years of age, and entry at Group Coach is 18.

I live/work outside the UK, can I still attend a coach education course?

Anyone can attend but any overseas students or any person who intends to coach or reside outside the UK should note the following:

  • Does your home country have its own coach education system? British Triathlon qualifications are designed to meet the requirements of coaching in the UK.
  • Will our qualification be recognised in your home country? (either by the National Governing Body or wider regulatory requirements)
  • Can you gain suitable insurance ? (Home Nation member insurance is for UK residents)
  • The course is conducted in English, all candidates must have a good standard of spoken and written English.
  • You will need to attend all days - can you guarantee that you be able to make all dates and consider the additional costs of doing so (travel/accomadation etc.)?

Do I need a DBS check?

For all DBS related questions, please see our information page here.

I coach as a limited company, am I insured as a coach member?

As a British Triathlon Core Coach or Ultimate Coach member you are also covered as an individual coach for professional indemnity insurance even if you are registered as a limited company. This is however dependent on you remaining under the respective earning caps of £5,000 per annum for Core Coach members and £35,000 per annum for Ultimate Coach members.

I still have a question relating to coaching, who can I contact?
