1. Job Specifications & Responsibilities Course Administrator The Course Administrator is the person who is appointed, usually by the Regional/County Coaching Group, to arrange and manage training courses for coaches on a local basis. The Course Administrator, who is usually also an Archery GB member, is responsible for all of the administrative aspects of the training and assessment of the Learners. The Course Administrator is responsible for the smooth running of the course by ensuring all of the Learners, staff and mentors are aware of their obligations and responsibilities. Whilst there are many benefits in having a Course Administrator who is also a coach or awarded the Certificate of Tutor in Sport and Independent Assessment of Practice in Sports accreditation, these are not statutory requirements. The Course Administrator needs to be someone able to do the required work and have the respect and confidence of Learners and staff as well as possessing good communication skills and being computer literate. It should be stressed that the Course Administrator does not have any responsibility for the technical aspects of the course; this is entirely the responsibility of the Lead Tutor and the training team. A summary of the course administration procedures and deadlines can be found in the appendix, Course Administrator Qualification requirements: The Course Administrator should be a member of the Archery GB and have a copy of the Course Administration Handbook. Learner Both members and non members are eligible to attend the course. The Course Administrator is required to inform the Archery GB Coaching Officer of the names of any non members enrolled to attend a course. For full details about the terms and conditions of Learner entry onto a course, please refer to the Guidance of Enrolment, which can be found at the back of the Learner Application form. Lead Tutor The Lead Tutor is appointed by the National Coach Education Manager (NCEM) to take responsibility for all of the technical aspects of the course. The Lead Tutor assumes responsibility for the quality of teaching, along with ensuring that all of the topics detailed in the technical specification are covered during the teaching sessions. The Lead Tutor should produce the lesson plans for the teaching sessions. The delivery of the syllabus should be discussed with the other course Tutors when present, and teaching duties allocated. The Lead Tutor shall be in attendance at every course session as they are responsible for their successful outcome. Lead Tutor Qualification requirements: The Lead Tutor must be a qualified and recognised Coach Educator and a member of Archery GB. Tutor Tutors are appointed and approved by the Lead Tutor to assist on the course. Tutors would typically assist by delivering or helping to deliver lesson plans that have been prepared by the Lead Tutor. Lead Assessor & Assessor The Assessors carries out all independent assessments. Assessors are appointed by the NCEM, and must not have worked on the specific course that they are assessing. Independent Assessors undertake the assessment of designated components. They are also responsible for the outcome of the final assessment of the Learners. Assessor Qualification requirements: The Assessor must be a qualified and recognised Coach Educator and a member of Archery GB. Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 3
Internal Verifier Internal Verifiers are centrally appointed by the National Coach Education Manager (NCEM) and are responsible for internally verifying every Course. It must also be noted that Verifiers in some circumstances may affect the final outcome of assessments. Internal Verifier Qualification requirements: The Internal Verifier must be a qualified and recognised Coach Educator and Verifier and a member of Archery GB. Mentor Mentors are appointed by agreement between the Learner, Course Administrator and Mentor. The mentor supports the Learner by helping with self-review and constructive help during the training period. In certain exceptional circumstances Course Learners may mentor each other on a buddy basis. Mentor Qualification requirements: A Mentor must be a member of Archery GB and ideally a qualified coach. Where Learners are being mentored on a buddy basis they should receive mentor training/guidance prior to setting up the buddy arrangement. 2. Course Organisation Course Structure The course follows a learning programme which has been designed by Archery GB. This consists of a mixture of practical and theoretical based learning. It covers a period of induction, training, supported practice and assessment. The general course model you will follow is illustrated at the back of this document; although the sequence of sessions and times may vary between courses. Achievement of the qualification is normally via the combination of the following phases: Course preparation - please refer to section 3.5 Pre-course meeting. A programme of training, during which Learners will be provided with the predominantly practical and technical information required to fulfil the role. Achievement of knowledge via a structured programme of learning and/or home study. An independent assessment of the Learners knowledge and understanding of the learning outcomes of the qualification. Course Material An overview of the course (course model) and a list of related forms are contained within the appendix for your reference. 1st4sport Qualifications will supply all Learner resources usually directly to the Lead Tutor on behalf of Archery GB. Lead Tutors will hand out the resources to Learners at the start of the course. Getting Started In coaching it has been said Perfect Planning Prevents Pathetic Performance. A good course, like a good shot, requires sound preparation. The course must, naturally, have a satisfactory outcome in terms of participants success, but there should be more to it than that. The course should be enjoyable for both Tutors and Learners alike, be conducted in a comfortable environment and be economic in terms of the time taken to completion and financial cost. It is essential that the course is Learner focussed, and that the needs of the Learners always take priority. In planning a course the first thought probably has to be how many Learners? The local County Coaching Organisation may already have a demand from potential Learners sufficient to justify running the course, or there may be few or none and consequently there will be a need to advertise. However, the eventual Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 4
number of Learners enrolled on a course will be limited by the resources available in terms of venue(s), and funding. Generally it is recommended that 12 is the Maximum number of Learners for a Level 1 course, with 1 Lead Tutor. This is a recommendation based on experience, from 1 st 4 Sport. The number of Learners on a course should reflect the local needs and resources. The most important people on the course are the Learners and having too many Learners on the course may not serve their best interests. It should also be born in mind that the supported practice aspect of the course requires the Learners to work within their club environment and clubs should be able to support each Learner. It is recommended that the County Coaching Committee is involved in the pre-planning of activities. Once a course demand has been established and a provisional start date arranged, it is advisable to have a pre-course planning meeting with the Course Administrator. At this meeting the following decisions should be made: Venues for the formal course sessions (classroom and shooting range) Dates for the formal training sessions (recommended to be 3 days covering 20 hours of formal training) and a practical assessment day Planning (who will do what, when and where) What costs you will incur (central course fee, tutor and assessor fee, facility and equipment hire, administration fees, refreshments and incidentals etc) What funding grants you can obtain to subsidise costs e.g. from your County Association, County Sport Partnership or Local Authority. Booking Facilities The learning environment is extremely important and care should be taken when booking a venue to ensure that it is suitable for Learners in terms of space, access and comfort. Ideally the shooting venue and classroom will be near each other to facilitate going from one location to the other easily. Toilets and refreshments should be accessible to theoretical and practical training venues. Any practical training or assessment site and equipment must meet the requirements of accepted safe practice in archery as defined by the GNAS Rules of Shooting. The following equipment and environment is recommended for practical and theoretical training and assessment. Practical training 1) A secure shooting range facility: To have a minimum shooting length of 10 metres and at least 2 metres space behind the shooting line to allow comfortable movement for learners, tutors and assessors Preferably indoors 2) Range equipment (for indoor ranges): 3 x 48 bosses 3 x target stands Backstop netting (sufficient to cover the width behind the targets and for several metres to either side, hung loosely and not stretched), or an alternative measure to ensure stray arrows that miss a target will not rebound off end walls back towards the shooting line Target faces (sized 122cm for beginners) Target pins (normally a bag of ~100, but at least enough pins to secure target faces required) 3) Range equipment (for outdoor ranges): Pegs and guy ropes for securing the target stands and bosses Shooting line rope or cones Ground quivers For safety support poles will be needed with guys ropes and pegs if netting is used outdoors Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 5
4) Shooting equipment: Minimum of 1 bow per 3 learners should be available. The bow lengths and weights should be appropriate for the learners for each bow. Minimum of 1 bow sight per 3 learners should be available Bowstring for each bow and spares if possible 1 arrow rest per bow, plus 2 spare right handed, and 2 spare left handed, rests as required 1 finger sling, 1 finger tab and 1 bracer per learner There needs to be at least 3 arrows per learner, of safe length to shoot. The following is a recommended stock for a tutor to provide: - 48 arrows (sufficient for each learner to have 3 arrows initially plus spares) - Lengths 28 32 ; 1916 size for durability - At least one set of 35 (full length) Easton Platinum arrows; size 2015 Spare piles, fletchings and especially nocks to match the arrow livery 5) Additional equipment that could be useful: Indoor ground quivers Score sheets / score pads Simple side quivers Arrow maintenance equipment e.g. fletching jig, glue Arrow straightener String maintenance equipment e.g. string material (Dacron) serving thread, wax, string jig, serving tool Theoretical training 1) Indoor classroom: Have sufficient size, table space and comfort for learners. 2) Resources to deliver the training programme: Laptop computer Data projector and extension cable White board or flip chart Setting Course Dates It is recommended that the course takes place over 3 days of training and 1 practical assessment day. The dates must be pre-booked with the appropriate venues and the information made known to Learners before they book onto the course. The minimum duration permitted for the formal aspect of the Learner training is 20 hours and the session times should be arranged to reflect this. Calculating Costs The Course Administrator / Region / County are financially responsible for the course. It is strongly recommended that a Region or County Association bank account is used to collect fees and pay for expenditure. To allow the course to be registered with Archery GB the amount the Learner is required to pay to attend the course ( Learner fee ) needs to be calculated by the Course Administrator. This will allow the course to be published on the Archery GB website. To calculate the Learner fee, the Course Administrator must identify the expenditure that will be incurred and the likely income or funding that can be used to offset this (e.g. obtaining a minimum number of applicants, receiving financial support from the Region / County). Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 6
It is essential to consider the following mandatory expenditure that will be incurred on every course: 1) Central course fee: A standard fee payable to Archery GB by the Course Administrator. Archery GB should receive this payment in one lump sum. This is non refundable and typically covers the costs incurred by Archery GB for the Learner to be registered with 1st4sport Qualifications, the Learner resources, certification, internal and external verification. 2) Coach Educator fees: A standard fee payable to the Lead Tutor, Lead Assessor and Assessors by the Course Administrator. For current rates of pay for central course fees and Coach Educator fees please refer to the table below. Other possible expenditures may include: Venue and equipment hire (including initial deposit) for the duration of the course Course administration expenses Refreshments and incidentals Mandatory course expenditure breakdown (rates of pay)* Type Rate Payable to Payment due Central course fee Coach Educator fees* 90 per every Learner that attends Lead Tutor: 200 per day Lead Assessor: 150 per day Assessor: 100 per day From the Course Administrator to Archery GB in one lump sum (e.g. one cheque) From the Course Administrator to the Lead Tutor, Lead Assessor and Assessor. At least 30 working days before the course starts Within reasonable time of the Coach Educators duties ending. *Subject to change (At least one lead tutor is required for every 12 Learners on a course. One assessor can complete 4 assessments in one day) Example Learner fee calculation: Expected number of Learners required to run the course: 8 Duration of formal training and assessment 4 days Coach Educator requirements: Coach Educator fees: Venue costs: 1 Lead Tutor, 1 Lead Assessor, 1 Assessor 600 (Lead Tutor) 150 (Lead Assessor) 100 (Assessor) 850 total 70 per day 280 total Course Administrator costs: 80 Central course fee: 720 Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 7
TOTAL EXPENDITURE TO RUN COURSE: 1930 LEARNER FEE: 242 Remember that if more or less Learners apply to complete the course, this will effect if the Course Administrator / Region / County may make a small profit or loss by running the course. Try and keep the Learner fee low by planning to recruit more Learners or securing support from your Regional / County Archery Association. Communicating with Learners In advance of the course, Learners should be sent the details of the course (and assessment), including the venue address and meeting point, times and what they should bring (e.g. lunch). On a well-run course, staff and Learners will arrive 15 to utes before the start time thus ensuring a prompt start with no inroad into the tutoring time. The Course Administrator or Lead Tutor must check that each Learner has a valid Archery GB membership card before training takes place. Course Registration Before any course can commence, the local County Coaching Organiser (CCO) and Regional Organiser (RCO) should be informed that it is planned. The course then needs to be registered with the Archery GB Coaching Officer. The Course Administrator should send the completed Course Registration Form (CTL01/**) from the Archery GB website to the Archery GB Coaching Officer with as much notice as possible prior to the commencement of the course*. The Archery GB National Coach Education Administrator (NCEA) shall appoint a Lead Tutor, Lead Assessor, Assessors and Internal Verifier, to the course. Once the Course Administrator has received confirmation that the course has been successfully registered, the Course Administrator must complete the Learner recruitment process and send the completed Learner application forms and Central Course Fee to the Archery GB Coaching Officer at least 30 working days prior to the start of the course. Once the Archery GB Coaching Officer has received the Learner Application forms and Central Course Fee, the Archery GB Coaching Officer will order the Learner resource manuals and 1st4sport Qualifications will post them to the Lead Tutor as standard. * From October 2011: all courses must be registered at least 4 months in advance of the start of the course. This will help improve Archery GB s nationwide planning of courses to better cater for the demands of potential coaches. It will also allow the Coach Education Manager to appoint tutors and assessors as required. Keeping a Course Portfolio Course Administrator s should keep a course portfolio to keep record of all of the administrative documentation associated with the course. Typically, a course portfolio should contain the following information A copy of the Course Registration Form A copy of the Learners Application Forms Attendance record (both staff and Learners) Expenses records and receipts Records of income and expenditure In an event of desk based internal verification, the internal verifier may request that Course Administrator post the course portfolio to them. Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 8
CRB Disclosure Guidance Under the terms of the Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery course, Learner coaches must be supervised by an experienced Archery GB member or registered coach when completing the supported practice component of the course. It is not mandatory for Learner coaches to have a completed an enhanced CRB disclosure for this activity. However, it is recommended that anyone responsible for supervising a Learner coach during supported practice who is working with children, young people or vulnerable adults has completed an enhanced CRB disclosure with Archery GB. Learners who intend on becoming an Archery GB licensed coach, will need to have completed a CRB disclosure in order to do so. Learners who are members of Archery GB will have an opportunity on the course to complete a CRB disclosure. Those Learners intending on completing a CRB disclosure will need to bring original documentation of four forms of identification (e.g. passport, photo ID, birth certificate, driving license (photo type), utility bill, to the induction of the course. Further information can be found on the CRB section of the Archery GB website. To successfully complete the course, Learners must provide evidence that they have attended an NSPCC approved child protection course. The National Coaching Committee recommends that Learners complete the sports coach UK Safeguarding and Protecting Children and Vulnerable Adults workshop or Educare Online Child Protection Awareness course. Course Administrators should help Learners locate a suitable child protection course to attend before the practical assessment day. 3. Management of the Course Pre Course Meeting Learners may need to take part in a meeting prior to the course, organised by the Course Administrator. This is to provide Learners, if they require it, with information about how to access an NSPCC recognised child protection workshop, help Learners to select a mentor, and complete necessary paperwork (e.g. CRB disclosure forms). Course paperwork and information useful for a pre course meeting: 1) Course register 2) Course and assessment dates, times and location 3) CRB disclosure forms 4) NSPCC recognised child protection workshop requirements 5) Name of the Lead Tutor and Lead Assessor 6) Signpost to relevant polices, each can be found here: Complaints Procedure Assessment Appeals Procedure Equality Policy, Disciplinary Policy, Equity Policy 7) Collection of any outstanding Learner fees The Learning Programme The Lead Tutor determines how the learning programme is arranged. It is essential that all of the sessions within the Learning Programme are fully covered during the formal training aspect of the course. The Lead Tutor has the responsibility, for ensuring that the course programme fully covers all of the detailed training Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 9
requirements. For additional program planning guidance, reference should be made to the recommended Course Model and Learning Programme. Supported Practice The Learner needs to have experience of hands on coaching of real beginners. The Learner gains this experience by completing supported practice whereby the Learner works under the supervision of an Archery GB member, who is preferably a qualified coach, coaching for example in a club environment. The Learner also needs to work with a mentor, who will help the Learner reflect on their coaching. The mentor is required to be a qualified archery coach. Learners are required to complete 12 hours of Supported Practice (including 3 hours having worked with a mentor. The mentor needs to have observed at least one coaching session that the Learner delivers). The supervising coach and/or the Learner s Mentor should periodically report the Learner s progress to the Course Administrator. Ideally, the Learner should be able to ask for this supported practice to be provided within their own club, assisting a coach within that club. However there will be circumstances where this is not possible. In these cases the Course Administrator will have to arrange suitable opportunities for the Learner either by enlisting the help of a coach who would visit the Learner s club or finding a beginners course to which the Learner Can support. 4. Management of Assessment The Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery includes a single practical assessment for Learners. In practical terms it is expected that this assessment will take place on a single assessment day for each training course, and will be attended by all the Learners on a course. Facility and Equipment Requirements A shooting range is required for a full day (e.g. 9am-5pm). Multiple targets are required so that several assessments can take place at the same time. Beginner equipment for use during the assessments must also be organised. Assessments that Take Place The Learner is required to undertake the practical assessment and professional discussion, (this includes presenting evidence of Supported Practice and Certificate of completion of a NSPCC recognised child protection course). The Learner needs to be assessed coaching two archers for the practical assessment. It is acceptable to use other Learners from the course for purpose of simulation. However, real archery beginners are acceptable and encouraged to be used where possible. Independent Assessment An independent assessment is conducted after the formal training has taken place. It should be scheduled to take place 3 months after the first day of the course allowing adequate time for Learners to complete supported practice but ensure a reasonable pace of progression is maintained. The external assessments must be completed by a qualified coach educator that has not been involved in training or mentoring the Learner. The independent assessors are appointed by the NCEA who will inform the course Administrator. A well-compiled, referenced and relevant learner pack can shorten the amount of questioning needed at the assessment. If a Learner is unsuccessful on their first assessment, they are able to be reassessed after a period of 5 working days. The Internal Verifier will also want to examine the assessment records of the Learner. Any reassessments will be arranged at expenses to the Learner. Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 10
Assessor Requirements These assessments are independently assessed. It is expected that one assessor will perform four assessments in one day. E.g. two assessors are required for eight Learners; three assessors are required for twelve Learners. Organisation of the practical assessment day The Course Administrator is responsible for deciding the date, location and facility choice, and ensuring that all the necessary equipment is provided. The timetable for the assessment day will be organised by the Lead Assessor. Example timetable for the assessment day 9.00am: 9.30am: 9.30am - 12.30pm: Arrival Set-up and introductions complete Two assessments complete per assessor 1.00-4.00pm: Two assessments complete per assessor 4.00-4.30pm: All paperwork completed by assessors 4.30-5.00pm: Pack away, final comments and staff de-brief Summary Timing of assessment day Facility requirements Assessment Tasks Assessors required Archers Responsibility 3 months after day 1 of the course Range and venue for 9am 5pm Practical assessment and professional discussion 1 assessor / 4 assessments 2 archers per Learner for practical assessment Beginners or other Learners or, archers can be used to simulate a beginner archer. Course Administrator: (Date, location, venue, equipment Assessors: Assessment timetable for the day Course Close Once each of the individual assessments has been successfully completed, the course Administrator should have the Learners record of achievement signed by the Course Internal Verifier (if in attendance). The original of this form should be kept by the Learner. Copies should be obtained by the Lead Assessor and sent to the Archery GB Coaching Officer. Learners who have been successful will be awarded a Certificate by 1 st 4sport. The Coaching Officer will post successful Archery GB Learners a badge and new membership card showing Coach Level 1 providing they meet the coach licence requirements. 5. Course Verification Internal Verification Verification is the most important part of the level 1 process because it has the function of ensuring that at least the minimum acceptable national standards are maintained in both the tutoring and assessment phases of the course. Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery Course Administration Handbook 11
The verification component is undertaken by the internal verifier. Some courses will be verified, some by an attending verifier, others remotely by a review of paperwork including the course portfolio. Verification may be undertaken on the tutoring of the course, on the assessment process or possibly in exceptional cases on both. The internal verifier will have had no involvement with the tutoring or assessment of any course they verify. The internal verifier will inform the Course Administrator when they intend to visit. External Verification An External Verifier is appointed to Archery GB by 1st4sport Qualifications and that person has to from another sport discipline. Their role is to ensure that the entire organisation of the 1st4sport Qualifications Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery does not fall below the minimum standards agreed amongst all other sports offering a UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) endorsed qualification. In order to do this the External Verifier will need to view some such archery courses on an annual basis. The Course Administrator may or may not be notified of such visits in advance.
