The first Coach Education course in 2022 is almost full, with one last place available. More places could be open if there are enough interested candidates.
On 12th and 13th March, BF will offer an Introduction to Coaching Fencing (ITCF) course at Cundall Manor School, Cundall, York, to train a new group of Level 1 coaches.
Coach Education courses are organised in groups of up to 12 candidates. 11 aspiring coaches have already signed up for ITCF Cundall, and bookings will close when the last place is taken. Please note your booking is not confirmed until the booking fee is paid. Bookings will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
If there is still interest in this course after bookings are closed, BF will assess the viability of opening more places for the same dates, If that is not possible, expressions of interest will be registered and considered for planning another course in the same area on different dates.
